Ooops.  Sorry.  I guess it's one of those things where you read what you want to hear not what's actually written.  I saw Tru when you wrote Tung and just assumed you always use tru oil.

Glad to hear.  I have used tung oil a lot and will try it on my next bow.

Use the tung oil you wipe on, wait 8 minutes and wipe off.


Check out this riser, curly maple. Awesome wood.

   

   

   

There ya go, Mitch.

   

There ya go again, Mitch.

what did you stain the curly with- looks really nice
obviously you do it after shaping- is it just careful application that keeps it off the rest of the handle- how do you stop it bleeding?

The entire bow was stained at once with silver gray alcohol based aniline dye.

Dang it Roy.
I just convinced myself to NOT stain my black locust lams with grey dye. Now that I’ve seen that maple I’m having second thoughts.
Thanks a lot    :dunno:

Tim was back today. He took his bow home last week and put 800 shots through it. Tiller changed 1/16th inch.
He roughed out the handle.

 

Then final sanding and stain and tung oil.
