Rick, Pappy sent me your address and I'll send the bow along to you. I found a string I had made previously for another bow. It is a new string and will do some stretching, so you'll probably have to twist it some to maintain the brace height until its shot in. I'm also including a bow stringer just in case he uses one. The tips are a little on the short side, and this stringer fits it where a lot of them would cover up the string groove. Good luck with the snake skins! ;)

Sounds good.  Did you guys write something on it, or do you want me to do it before the finish.  If so what do you want it to say?

Thanks Pappy. I got the "high resolution" pic.  ;) Thanks again to you and Greg...and everyone else.  Rick, we should add something in writing on the bow like    "In Memory Of Tom Brennan
                                                                                   from his Primitive Archer family".  or something like that. Anyone else have any ideas?
  Everyone involved be sure to have a high res. pic taken of you and your contribution and e-mail it to me.

 If you guys want, I've got some real fine point pens and my handwriting is pretty good. I could put it on when I put the grip on.

That's fine with me as long as you think it will be ok over the finish.  I'm planning on using Tru Oil.  My writing isn't the best so this will get my wife out of doing it. ;)

 Rick, I usually put a finish on to get it smooth and then pen over that and then spray Poly and then Tru-oil. If you guys want me to do it, just let me know what to put on it and I'll do my Bestus job.

I got the bow today.  It looks good.  The tips are SWEET.   I'll be starting the finish work tomorrow night.  Was the sinew put on with hide glue or Titebond?   Just wondering about my glue choice for the skins.  I usually use Titebond liquid hide glue (bottle) for skins.  It gives me a long working time and easy to fix air bubbles.

 Rick, you can still use TB over hide glue.
