That, then, would be a BIG good on you, Bob!

Well said Knoll!

The overlay popped off great. If it wasn't for the string groove and the hot horn wanting to bend, I could've popped it off with finger pressure. But I had to use a knife and the glue line broke so easy that I managed to cut myself a little when the knife went through. Heating the bend back went great. It took a little more curve than the other one had, so I popped the overlay off it too and bent it to match the same. So in the morning I'll glue the overlay back on followed by gluing the underlay on in the evening. Then the bow should be good to pull back again.

As long as everything goes as planned, Ill have it and my other trade bow at MoJam with me. So you'll get to play with them a bit too before they go to their final homes.

I got one of the cherry underlays bent this morning. I technically bent both, but one I went a little too quick and it buckled in the middle right as I tightened the clamp to hold it. I slowed down a little on the second and it looks good to me. I'll try to get the other bent tonite. It seems like the cherry isn't too big of fan of being bent with dry heat.

Now that the bows got a taste for blood, hopefully it wants more and will be and awesome hunter.

I am going to give the Ok for everyone to ship. If you are still working on your bow that is cool. Deadline still applies.

Bring to MoJam . . . contents, not the tube!
