          TMiddleton, can't share all my secrets but I will say the finish I used to blend in the stress cracks is a spray on finish.

          bwkozak, you can't wait! I'm just as excited for the owners to get there bows back and let me know if they are happy or not, as they are to get them!

          Thanks to everyone for the compliments, I really enjoy taking an old ruff bow and bring it back to top notch condition!

                  Glad to hear you like it bwkozak! I was worring about it getting to you undamaged! I set it up for split finger shooting, and the brace hieght is a little low so there might be a little arm slap. That bow was really starting to look comfortable next to my other bows, I think it might of wanted to stay here???? Like I said earlier the closer I get to finishing one the more I want to keep it!

                        I hope you enjoy the Christmas gift. If I ever come across another bow I will give YOU a hola to do it for me. Again, thanks for the fast turn around to get it back to me in time for Christmas....

                        Thanks,
                        Brad

                            I know this isn't exact, but it's the best I could do.
                            I couldn't find a clear image of the real decal.

                            Save this, size it to the size you need it (should be close already), and then print it on peal & stick (transparent) label paper.

                            When you strip the old finish off, just remove the old sticker along with it.

                            Once you get the bow ready to put a clear sealer back on it,
                            put the sticker on first, and seal over it.

                            Rick
                            Have you tried this method? I am refinishing a bow for my brother, and need a way to replace the decal.
