"Hula Girl" arrived, safe and sound, today and is more beautiful than I even dreamed, Manny. I'll be a good (and safe) ol' coot and let her acclimate for a couple weeks (as you suggested) while I just "pet" her (LOL) and make a nice new string for her. I am truly so moved by the grace and beauty of this bow, Manny, as well as your generousity, with your hard work and skill. I'm on cloud nine! Gotta go look some more!
