I liked the looks of yours you posted earlier in this thread, was that true oil? That war dress almost got me kilt a few weeks ago. I bought that for the wife quite a few years ago and it's a little small for her now, so she hung it on the wall. I told her I'd like to make arm guards and quivers out of it. Did I ever tell ya, I can run faster than her:) LMAO

Really nice stick Roy... It's gonna look real nice with some oil on it.

Boy you aint the sharpest marble in the basket sometimes.

Good thing your fast,LOL.
I used spray on Minwax polyurothane, but true oil works about the same.

Looks good, Roy. Glad you're not too winded from runnin' to work on your bow.

I don't have to out run my wife, I just have to be tough enough to endure her &$#@!!!*%! vocabulary.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #170 on:** October 31, 2012, 08:52:00 PM »

LOL Red. My wife is Italian/Irish. And she has the temper of both sides, if ya know what I mean. Plus she whooped up on more than one dude in her high school days. So Me and the dog run real fast when she get's mad.

Lookn great Roy, can't wait to see it finished!

Keenan · « **Reply #172 on:** November 01, 2012, 08:29:00 PM »

Ok Roy it's been a few days and I'm still salivating. By now you should have some more coats of finish on her. That is unless your still on the run from the Misses for playing with her dress

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #173 on:** November 01, 2012, 08:34:00 PM »

Tongue oil has to dry 24 hours between coats, ole boy:) I put the second coat on this morning. I'll do the 3rd coat tomorrow morning and take a picture for ya. The belly is looking super, the sap wood still looks a little dull. That normal or did ya send me bad Yew?

DVSHUNTER · « **Reply #174 on:** November 01, 2012, 08:47:00 PM »

It's probably just you that looks a little dull... Or is that dim?

I had plans to finish my yew project the same time as yours Roy but that stuff kills me to work. I get pain in my arms and shoulders and all through my chest. Plus the sneezing. I'll be honest I'm tempted to give up on it. Everytime I work it it gets worse. Did you have any issues. I probably need a mask better than what I got.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #175 on:** November 01, 2012, 08:58:00 PM »

I didn't have any problems, Dave. But IPE really laid the smack to me a couple years ago.

After 2 coats, the belly of this bow is just unbelievable. Takes my breath away looking at it.

Keenan · « **Reply #176 on:** November 01, 2012, 09:26:00 PM »

Carefull Roy that Little woman hears you talkin like that, you'll be on the run again and sleepin with that bow in the dog house

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #177 on:** November 02, 2012, 04:43:00 PM »

Here ya go Keenan, this is after the 3rd coat of tung oil. I'll prolly do 2 more coats yet.
