could I possibly get more detail as to what you are doing?

Using sand paper?  what grit?

where did you get the medallion?

where did you get the new sticker?  

how far down did you put the sticker?

thanks for taking me along!

John Raferty has been a pleasure to work with . There were a few problems with the old bow and he worked with me and we bounced ideas back and forth . And as you can see , the results are awesome .
I would strongly recommend his service to who ever would like a bow refinished .

Thanks Dale, our goal was to bring this bow back to life in honor of your dad and I hope we achieved it. It was also nice working with you and appreciated your input. I Always enjoy seeing what I can find under all the paint and age and bring out its original beauty. Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

Finally got to shoot the Old K-Mag today . This is the first shot @ 15 yards . I haven't shot this bow for a few years .

It was like seeing an old friend .

These pictures don't do it justice . I was floored when I opened the package and held it in my hand .
The refinish is amazing , with all the holes to plug , John just knocked it out of the park over the center field balcony
