Syringa character bow (updated)
Keenan:
Ok here she is unwraped. It looks like the skin is firmly adhered to the bow and things look fairly good. I had hoped it would be a little darker but what I'm seeing is real pleasing. The lighter under skin of the sturgeon is more transparent and seems to always have a milky color to it. It will be intresting to see how it looks with finish on it.
In the last pic I have it laying by another bow that I'm building rght now.(sneak preview) I used the upper portion of the same fish on that one and you can see the color difference. However that bow dose have one coat of finish on it. Keenan

david w.:
looks real good. this has been a fun buildalong.
could i use drywall tape for applying cherry bark?
Keenan:
Thanks David, I would think it would work great for bark backings. Give it a try and let us know. You can just test a small piece that is shaped the same as the bow. It works great where ther is a crown but on a bow with a wider flat back you might not get enough presure in the middle. Just a thought. Keenan
DanaM:
Keenan that is just downright sick ;D The skin is so unique.
Gordon:
Those are some mighty crooked sticks you' re making there Keenan :o
