That's neat to be able to follow the progress of a new bow. I'm anxious for you. Can't wait to see more pics.    :clapper:

Dave is unbelievable. He's really on a roll.

Good video. Looks like a few years have past since it was made.

The final rub down.

Looks like the wait will be significantly shorter now   :)  

I think Dave's trying to torture me (not intentionally I hope) by sending a peek of the bow.

I'll be anxiously waiting for his next photos.
