When I use skins 8th 10 or 12 coats of tru oil. When it's just wood I use shellac with about 5 coats.

Thanks for all the wonderful words guys.

I use tru oil to finish my bows with snake skin on them. I put in on by hand with old t shirts and socks for rags. Buff with 0000 steel wool in between coats.
