Pat B:
Keenan, Your bows are true works of art. Thanks for sharing your process. This is another project, like JD's war bow project, that need to into the archives. Do we have archives? If not we need it!!!  Pat

venisonburger:
I really like the horn on the handle, thats a neat touch, the doctor thing was pretty funny, what the heck was that red thing that looked like an organ of some kind in the one picture?

Keenan:
VM I was having a little fun and decided we needed to secure an airway,lol   Ok So I got a little creative with a hose off an old water pump.  I was just flashing back to have what seemed like dozens of wire and tudes everywhere.....Couldn't resist having alittle fun at the Docs expense...
 thanks Pat you give me to muuch credit,, I still see allthe mistakes I make along the way    .Keenan

Gordon:
What did you use for a finish? The skins came out very nice.

Keenan:
  Gordon the finish is Minwax polyuerothane, I put on two coats, let it cure out then hit with 400 grit then fine steel wool to nock off the fine stubs on the skin.Even though I always remove the scales there are those little feather tips that stick up.  I've learned that if you don't put a few coats on then nock the down smooth they will alow moister in latter on.  After the nock down I put on three more coats then a fine rub with fine steel wool and one final coat.  This mothod has worked well for me so far. I sometimes use the satin instead of gloss but but he said he would use sleaves if hunting. So I went for the show room look.   Keenan
