How do I refinish my self?

[NOMAD88]

What do you think? Can a rookie take care of these problems?

There is no reason a rookie couldn't refinish this bow.
A lot of hand sanding to get the old finish off then smaller gritt paper to get it smooth.

I had a similar question about some old bows I would like to refinish. Does anyone know if there is a build along or any other info to be found on the subject?   Thanks.

Looks like a simple refinish will do it. Strip .... Add finish.

Yes - you can do it, it's a lot of fun too.  There's a restoration 101 thread on the collectors forum, you can go there and request a copy and it will walk you through anything you might encounter.

Take your time, think about what you are doing, don't dig in one place, and you'll do just fine.

Yep you can do it just take your time 220 grit will take it off fast depending on the finish. Take some tiller measurements now if the bow shoots good so you can take it back to current tiller if ya change it by sanding.

Thanks everyone I will have a go at it and take some pics as I go along.
