Advice for a couple of Osage staves

<< < (3/3)

Ruddy Darter:
Thanks again bownarra,  8)
 I'll definitely look into that, sounds like the way forward,  I'm on the last of my Danish oil too,

.... I just ordered some blonde shellac flakes and some button shellac flakes. :)

George Tsoukalas:
Why? The stave on the left has good looking hardwood rings. Can't see the rings on the right one. Jawge

RyanY:
Make sure you follow those sapwood rings to see if they are solid all the way through. Sometimes there is a transition that might ruin plans for a solid white sapwood back. Gotta keep those aesthetics.  ;)

Ruddy Darter:
Thanks all,
I'll be aiming for those transitional rings, and I won't be trying for anything too ambitious, I'll get to a back I'm happy with (sapwood or no sapwood) and then lay on some dimensions. I'm working on another bow project at present so I won't be doing anything for a little while until I've made some progress with it.
R.D.
