Yeomanbowman:
Lovely detailing on a real looker, I must try that silk. Is Tru-oil for gun stocks and what's in it, Pat? I've heard it's good stuff. Still alittle way to come back on that draw ;)

What's going on with that tree behind the bow ??? :D
Pat B:
Kviljo, The width at the center of the bow is 1 1/4" and the thickness is 1 3/16". I have no scale to take a physical weight but if I can find one I will.
J, Tru-Oil is a linseed oil product with dryers added. I use my finger to apply it and allow it to dry overnight, rub it with 0000steel wool and add another coat. I usually use 3 or 4 coats on most of my bows. Some folks use a lot more. It dries to a hard deep shiny finish. I used the tung oil first on this bow because I feel it penetrates deeper and really enhances the grains appearance.
Simon, The tree face was a gift from our daughter. They are made of polymer and come in different characters. We have happy trees here in the mountains of western North Carolina.
Thanks for the comments guys. Pat
