Merry Christmas to you.What all do you have to do to finish it?
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I have to sand the riser block to fit and glue it on, glue on the tip overlays and shape the tips, shape the handle and sight window, sand down the edges of the glass, and put a finish on it. There may be more that I’m unaware of but I think that’s most of it.

No rush Dave. It may be a slow process. I don’t want to rush and screw this thing up. It’s potentially a gorgeous bow. Can’t thank Kenny enough. And you throwing in the strings is icing on the cake.

Wow, Merry Christmas, Looks great!
You are wise to take your time, you want this bow to last a lifetime! Post pictures as you work and ask lots of questions, even if it seems silly, let others learn as you do. Kenny is a great guy and beyond helpful if you need to ask him anything. Congratulations!

I’m sure I’ll have plenty of questions. I have some of the 420 loctite ordered for the limb tips. First question what do I use to glue the riser block to the bow? I would think some type of epoxy.
