Hazelnut bow build-a-long (fixed pictures)
Gordon:
After the handle accents and tips are done, I apply the light brown dye to the limbs.
The dye will raise the grain slightly so after it dries I lightly sand the stained areas with 600-grit sandpaper.
And here is the bow after the stain job is completed.
BigWapiti:
Just one word, "WOW!" Otherwise, I'm speachless. I've been gazing at your bow unable to leave the page. its a true beauty Gordon, I love the color fade black to brown.

A true Master Craftsmen....Gordon, when they make the 5th Bible, I believe you will be in it......Brian
Gordon:
Thank you Mike, but there is still more to do - put a border between the limb/snake and tips, stitch a leather handle, build an arrow rest, letter the bow, and put on a finish. Lots to do yet, but the end is in sight.
Brian, I am flattered by your compliment - but I think I have a ways to go before I'm in that league - but thank you.
