Use'ly when I see it a lam site I move on.No disrespect I use to do the lam thing myself.But when I saw the pic. of the bow you had my attenion.Then the after pics.Well you did a fine job.If I wore a hat it be off ot you..Some bows get retired for one reason or another.It's nice when one gets brought back to life. GOOD WORK

Very nice job Droptine. Makes me want to get out the old Bear Grizzily I bought in the States in 2000 for $40.00. She is a bit of a horror as well but nowhere near as bad as that one. It has similar lines to that bow...Glenn...

Incredible!!! Doesn't even look the the same bow. Probably looks better now than it did new. Your a miracle worker Droptine59.

How about a "How I did it" story to go with the pics. Would love to hear some details.
