Another Hickory Self Bow
« on: March 11, 2011, 07:47:00 PM »
I finaly got around to finishing a hickory bow I had in the works. 64"n/n 46@26 1 5/8" at the fades and straight taper to the tips. Heat treated belly and osage tip overlays. Light brown leather stain and true oil finish.

I put the light brown dye on and it was a little darker than I wanted so I went over it with a green Scotch brite pad and lightened it up some. Then 5 coats of True oil

Looks real nice. Did you add some reflex to it to get that straight profile and if so how much.
