Rich, thanks for the recipe. I'll get some to working and give it a try on some test pieces. I am trying to build this rifle period correct and was wondering about how to stain it.

If you google "homemade wood stains" you can find a lot of useful formulas such as these:

Concentrated tea (10 bags of black tea per quart) steeped an hour and the bags squeezed, works for all woods.

One fluffed out steel wool pad in 2 cups vinegar and sit overnight.  For tannin bearing woods like oak

Soap-less (read the bottle) Ammonia straight from the bottle brushed onto Oak.

Wow ! Thats a prime example of natural beauty brought out by a skilled artisan , nothing hiding the natural beauty of the wood and a great way to show technique.
 Too far? Tough call , if its functional and capable of taking game no, if an example of skill set definitely not.

Rich that is an amazing bow. It scares me a little as far as thinking of pulling it back all day long but I just can't stop looking at it. Thanks for sharing. Dean
