Tru oil - Tung Oil

[Blue EagleBum]

To this point I have only used polyurethane. So whats the deal with tru and tung oil? And what if anything does it do on a glass/maple/glass TD Recurve? Is one better than the other, or is a particular brand better?
Because I think I would like to use one of the two on this one.

They are made to penetrate into wood, wouldn't work on glass.

[Blue EagleBum]

So. ok for riser. But what if anything could I use on the glass?

[Roy from Pa]

Polyurethane would work on glass, the others ok for riser.. I don't make glass bows so I'm not much help there.

I use wipe-on polly on glass bows with no problems. Tru-oil or Tung oil will work fine on glass also.

Go with Tru-oil. It works very well on wood and glass. It is not as durable as the epoxy finishes but much easier to work with and refinish if needed.Makes a very nice finish. Bob

Thanks for all of your input. Hope to be finishing soon. Between turkey season and ball season for two boys, it may take a while, but I'll get there.

The only thing I like about Tru Oil is that it seals the pores of osage. I give it 3 coats. Then I give it 3 coats of spar urethane. Jawge
