finishing a sinew backing
« on: December 03, 2010, 08:24:36 am »
hey guys I'm a newbie and just finished sinew backing a hickory bow with hide glue.
my question is: can you put stain on it to change the color and or sealant of some kind without messing up the glue?

Yes ,just let it dry good before you do that ,and also let it dry good after you stain it,before you seal it.I seal them with Tru Oil.  :)
