Absolutely!!

Crittergetter, that Silvertip longbow is stunning. Those bows have been my favorite so far. I picked up one on the used market, killed my first elk with it (along with several gophers), then was contacted by the original owner (Caricajou sp?) and after a year of pleading I sold it back to him. I just built my first bow and modeled the riser after Dave's. It turned out pretty good, but after seeing your pics and the nice finish you put on there, sure made me miss it! Please let me know if you ever want to sell it! Cheers
Beautiful work!!!!! :clapper:
Dang!!!!
Super job Randy!! :thumbsup:
Great job!
Now quit playing with bows and go stick an elk.

Very slick looking Randy, and I agree, that Silvertip is a beauty!!!!

Great looking job on the 'Tip.
Nice work Randy!!
Were those complete strips and refinish?
If so....couple questions....How do you redo the finish on the checkering? And is that where the bear medallion is originally?
Bvas, on the silvertip I did not sand the checkering. I carefully sanded around it and stripped all the old finish off. Then sprayed as normal.
On the bear bow that's where the medallion was when I got it. Not sure if that's the original position or not.
Nice!! One more....Did you reletter the silver tip, or preserve the writing and blend the finish?
Either way, looks fantastic :thumbsup:
Preserved the original writing by carefully sanding around it and lightly sanding over it. The writing was/is usually under a couple of coats of finish. I did remove a name that was on it though. And the writing on the limb is new to match the current specs.
That's one good thing about tbird and Krystal. The are highly compatible with other finishes and usually blend with out any discoloration. The only time I've ever had an issue is with some older Bows
Great work!
Excellent work, what finish are you using?
Very nice work Randy!

A combination of thunderbird and Krystal!
Good as new, and very nice work. The owner should be very happy.
