First Osage character bow build along
RG:
Always use true oil on mine
1/2primitive:
Bob, it always worked on my other bows, do you think it was the wood? Is Osage an oily wood?
Sean
Coo-wah-chobee:
............Sean...............yes 'sage is an oily wood, that may be why varnish is taking so long to dry....varnish takes a long time any way.........if its humid where its drying .......look out, will stay "tacky" for what seems forever, Luvs dust too :'(.......bob
Hillbilly:
Might just be a bad can of varnish, could have gotten frozen or something. I've used Helmsman spray spar urathane on osage with no problems, it dried really quickly.
Mickey:
Tru Oil user here. Takes about 20 minutes for a coat to dry. I usually put on 6 coats with light 0000 steel wooling between the last couple of coats.
Been waiting to see finished pics of this bow Sean. Liek waiting for your first child to be born ;)
