Muskyman:
Thanks Dave and PD. My bow has been sitting in my family room which I heat with a wood burning stove, so it’s dry in there. Nothing I like better then shuffling across the carpet and touching momma on the ear lobe. All kidding aside it’s pretty dry in there. I’m going to work the next couple days so I won be fooling with it till at least the weekend. Then I might check the tiller again. Or it that to soon to bend it?
superdav95:
I bet you’d be fine by then. Especially with it being heated with wood stove. Good for drying things out! I did a sunburst stain on one of my bows earlier this year using a combination of red, yellow, and black leather dyes. Here’s pic how it turned out. Can’t wait to see how you make out mike.
Muskyman:
Is that stain on rawhide? Beautiful either way. I’m not going to turn something like that out for sure. I am going to play with this thing a bit though. Just to see what I can make it look like.
superdav95:
Thanks mike. Ya it’s hog intestine covering. It stains the same way. Here’s one with red stain on rawhide.

Nice bow. Well done. Organic archer was telling you that your fades are cut straight from riser to limb. Most bow makers cut the fades in an arc for a smoother transition from riser to limb even if it is not a glue on riser. Just a thought for your future builds.
