Pine pitch and tallow

Pat B:
The pure fat will float to the top and the impurities will sink. Let it cool and scoop the fat off the top.

I don’t have any deer tallow but I do mix my own tendered bacon grease and pine pitch primitive finish and heated into a mulberry bow.  I accidentally left it outside in my truck bed for a whole day and night during a rain storm.  After I realized it I went out and just saw beads of water all over it.  Strung it up and shot it a few times with no more gained set.  I always heat it in real well over a fire.  Really soaks in there.  I finished it with some paste wax.

Allyn T:
Pat that is genius!

Aznboi, that gives me a strong case to go forward with it
