Thanks for all the comments,been shooting today getting ready to have some fun, deer open tommorrow here. For a finish I put walnut over the whole bow, let cure sanded finish off with 400 grit sand paper,that left the dark lines in the grain. I used walnut on the belly again, golden oak on the back and sides of limbs up to the fades so the dark lines in the grain would show through. Left the handle area to fades natural with just the dark lines and put about 7 coats of the massey finish over the whole bow, I really wanted to work a couple of points back down and redo a bit but season opens tommorrow and can be redone later if decide too. I deviate from the original massey finish and use denatured alcohol instead of acetone same as I use on my arrows. Something else Eric taught me.
