    My little banjo playin pommy mate Dave's bow is just about finished.

    She just needs a few more coats of finish and the information written on her.

    Here are some updated pics I just took.

    The Pecan butt overlay.

    Axis Deer antler tip overlay, Dave opted to pay extra for the antler tip instead of Pecan/Phenolic tip overlays.

    Here is how she is gonna look when put together.

    I also still have got to put the felt on the riser under the limbs but thats the last thing I do after she gets buffed with 0000 steel wool and paste wax.

    Here is a quick put together look.

    Sorry about the photo quality the pic was taken inside with no flash, when I used the flash it washed out the colors.

    I'll get some better pics and post when she is finished and basking in the sunshine;)
