cowboy:
Nope - go back to the red. Ha, naw - don't know why but the black does look better, looks like it'll blend better in the huntin woods. That bow is lookin great!
duffontap:
Guys, I had a heck of a time deciding on red or black when I did the bow pictured. I settled on black for lower visibility. In this case it seems to look better on your bow.
Shannon, that is a great wrapping job. I like your method of building finer thread up. Looks more professional. By the way--I loved that set of skins with the Stegosaurus scales. You laid them out beautifully too.

I wished I would have had another set that had the big scales like the one limb has so it would have matched better. The skin on the opposite limb had big scales on it at one time but they were gone. Where they had been on the skin was transparent. You can see it in a couple of the pictures. That is what the brown on the limbs is. It is the wood underneath. I have a nice piece of yellar wood that would look good with a set of these skins. ;D

She looks great Shannon. The black does look good...but I do still like the red. I think every hunting weapon should have red on it. I don't know why, just cuz I guess!
Anyway, She is a beauty! Pat
bullcreekboy:
Pat, you and I think the same on hunting bows. I like mine to have a little red on them too. Now that I have the black wraps on there I think they fit the bow a little better. I have the first coat of CA glue drying on the bindings as we speak. Pat, I am going with a couple of coats of tung oil first before I follow up with the Tru-oil. Do I apply the tung oil to the skins too or just the wood? I have only used Tru-Oil on the bows I have done with skins so I just want to make sure. Our post office here in town must be in a black hole or something because the rattan hasn't arrived yet. It seems like every time I mail something or someone mails something to me it takes twice as long for it to show up. >:(
