That tiller looks spot on buddy! I'll have to try that finish on the next bow. How long are the fades, about 2"?

Thanks Tom, I think you'll like this finish. I've always liked Deft products, this Defthane is good stuff. Yep 2", I like long fades.

If I could do that, I would never buy another bow.

Dano - Heck, we were using Deft finishes back in high school. Good products. I've done tru-oil on guns many times, but never though of spraying anything over it.

Beautiful bow Dano,very well done.Love the way you done the skins,the copper heads we get aren't usually long enough for full length so I may give that a try on one.Looks great.

Thanks Pappy, I wish I could take the credit for the skin idea, But Timo built me a bow a few years back that he'd done like that, his looks way better'n mine.

Great looking bow there Dano.  I made a nice shooting 60 incher for my 26in draw as well.  I really like the short long bowss that agree with our draws!
