Sweet bow with great tiller! Please let us know how the color develops in the next year because I like the berry idea

I really like this bow. Tiller looks great and I think coloring it with the Elderberry juice is thinking outside the box. Good job.

Great looking bow!  I wonder what color mulberries would give, there's a tree across the street that is bearing fruit!

Ok, it's elderberry season again and some people wanted to know how that stain develops...it goes slightly to brown and looks like good rioja-wine now. cheers

Thanks for the update. Nice to see some actual proof on what happens over to time with a stain like that, not just hear-say. Looks good still. I wonder what would make it uneven.....applied heavier in places delays browning? Or something in the wood it self? Thanks for sharing the long term transformation.
