That what I'm talkin about Roy. That is sweet! If you give her several more coats she really start to shine up some more. Very nice bow. Pure clean beauty!

Oh ya ole boy, the more coats applied, the more she will shine up. It takes about 3 coats of tung oil to give a bow a little shine, first two coats seem to sink right into the grain, each coat after that really makes them take off.

Here she is after the 4th coat of tung oil, I applied the 5th coat right after the video. Will prolly do one more coat after this and let her go at that. I don't like a real high gloss on my bows. click the picture for the video.

Damn! Forgot just how much fun you boys have in this forum. Thanks for the laughs and congrats on a super sweet build along...

Just put the 6th and final coat on her. Going to do the handle wrap with black leather strips wrapped around her. It's 1/4 wide and about 3/16th thick. Gonna leave the dull rougher side facing out. Black side plate same way. That should be sharp as heck!

DVSHUNTER · « **Reply #195 on:** November 05, 2012, 06:48:00 PM »

Wrapped and scivved handles are fast becoming my favorites. Plus I think they are easier than stiching. Can't wait to see it Roy.

Keenan · « **Reply #196 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:53:00 PM »

That should match your tips very well and finish off nice!

Wow Roy! That is purty! I bow to you, salami, salami, bologni.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #198 on:** November 06, 2012, 04:45:00 PM »

Well thank ya, Bona. Guess I kin take yer name off the thumpen list now.

razorback · « **Reply #199 on:** November 06, 2012, 05:49:00 PM »

What kind of scoundrel would have a woman like Bona on his "thumpen" list. Coors light and threatening quality women folk, Roy I think you are the one who should be on some thumpen lists. :mad:

:mad:

Now show us that handle, it sounds just gorgeous.
