It says it has been refinished in the listing so you can count that the tips have been replaced and not a rare aberration. Also it is pretty clear the ugly overlays were added to hide holes. I think Doc does better work and probably had nothing to do with this one but maybe he did a long time ago. Jim

The guy who installed the riser overlay must have needed to take a pee pretty badly!

Nope I've never seen the bow until it showed up on **** the other day and god all mighty thank you Jim your right I think I do better work then that too.That little gem is one that the good doctor would call a super hot babe who's really really sweet until you see her in the day light ? then you see her last botox injection has fallen.Thats a super cool rare bird but its not worth to much as is.It needs more botox injections bd
