Boiling pitch at last years Classic?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hillbilly:
Yeah, that was my buddy Barry that came down with me. He bought that kettle of pine rosin from someone who had used it to cook taters in. He mixed it about equal parts pitch, beeswax, and ground charcoal.

D. Tiller:
Taters cooked in pine ressin?!?!  :o

D. Tiller:
I've been sealing my bows with a simmilar formula. Straight beeswax and pine ressin. Just enough beeswax to make the pine ressin slightly waxy/flexible. Works great! Should I do a demo on sealing a bow like this at the Classic?

sailordad:
that would be great if ya did it at the classic. 8)

but what about those of us unable to attend ??? i would like to see this as i want to try and keep a bow all natural and tongue oil just isnt all that natural of a sealant.

mullet:
