Best finish for raw hide??

(1/3) > >>

Selfbowman:
Now that I have the raw hide on the Osage bow what is the best finish? I have true oil , spray can lacquer. Also I want to dye the back maybe green or red. Suggestions?

Stickhead:
Aniline dye and TruOil both work great on rawhide.  Here’s one I did, fading red to black.

Selfbowman:
I like that!

Pat B:
Tru-Oil works great on rawhide and a quick spray of satin poly over that to cut the shine if you want a dull finish.

Pappy:
I use tru oil also, works great. :)
