She was gentaly sanded again, and another coat of TO smooooothed on. (I'm beginnin to like the smell of True Oil)  :scared:  
 
 
 
 

A few more coats of finish, then the accessories go back on. The decals should be here any day now. I'm gettin a little excited, kinda like before the deer season opens.

4runr, how are you applying your TO? fingers, cloth, or brush?  

Your bow is looking great by the way, I have a few I'd like to do, but again, like you said "to many things in the fire".

You will want to put a small spot of TO not to much bigger then the transfers,let it set until it's just a barely stickie.Then center the transfer,rub it off the paper backing and onto the limb.I would let it set over night to make sure everything is dry.Then gently rub the first 1 or 2 coats over the screens,let that dry.Then go over the whole bow.Keep us posted....bd
