Can't imagine it looking better before it's rebirth. It even has a new heart. One of honor.

I presented the bow to Rick yesterday morning. Shortly afterwards he took it to the range to try it out. I called him in the evening to see how it went and he just gushed about how good the bow felt and shot. I think he's glad to have his baby back ;D

Joe, I did not realize you live so close. I will certainly contact you.

Hillbilly, I'll go through my pics this evening and see if I took an unbraced profile shot. I was in kind of a hurry when I took the pics of the new bow so I may have neglected to take a pic at that angle. If so, I may have an unbraced of the original bow - the profile didn't change between the two.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments!

This bow really grabs me, I don't want people to think I'm attempting to single out one of us on this site above the others, there are other bows that I find exceptional, but theres something about the shape, color, total package that gives me something to aim for when I create. I'm learning as I go, hopefully someday I can end up with something like what I see here.

Hillbilly,

Unfortunately I neglected to take an unbraced side shot of the refurbished bow before I gave it to Rick. I did, however, find such a picture of the original. The before and after profile were unchanged.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

What a cool story, great job on the recovery. I don't think my bows look that nice the first time around :) I wish you had some photos of the bow before the repair, I would like to have seen the damage.

Do you have a pic of the bow in it's first life? It would be really nice to be able to compare them. I am sure it's first life was something, but 2nd Chance is something else!

What a wonderful story to see in the morning.  You made my day.  Both by reminding me about how a bow is really "alive," and by being a good friend. Thanks.
