Marty, I'm impressed!!

what a gorgeous bow! i love that sickle-shaped accent strip! it looks like you coated that bow with something, as the transistions(??) are incredibly smooth!

when I tried the same thing on wengé, with superglue, the contrast in the wood pretty much dissapeared. It just got real dark... but indeed, the pores dissapeared. how did your wengé look before the pore-filling? ( as I've seen much brighter wengé with more contrast on your bows)

marty, I want a bow of yours  :)

I use Fullerplast for a finish Nick.  It looked much the same before finishing, but a little lighter.

Good Lands, Man, that is so impressive.  As my grandpa used to say, "That's the bestn, yet!"

I've built a hotbox, arranging the tools and equiptment needed, slowly compiling the lumber and such and still need to build the forms but I look at your work and wonder if I should even bother.  You've taken your craft down to an art.
