That purplehart & maple really looks sharp.
Bubby when she got the bow you probably thought you were on your honeymoon again.

thanks everyone, sometimes these straight forward d bows are the best builds, don't over complicate things and just make them bend

Nice!
Is there any trick to keep the vibrant color?
I have seen some older ones and they are a bit dull.

I was told by warpath to use a 50-50 mix of boiled linseed oil and denatured alcohol one coat, wait 24 hrs and do another coat 50-50 mix, wait 24 hrs and use a coat of straight boiled linseed oil, after that dried I used 2 coats of tung oil then paste wax two or three coats
