Also if you use it on Red Oak, after you sand the bow down and prep it for dyeing, go ahead and wipe the bow down really good with just denatured alcohol first.  It will raise the grain in the oak and make it feel kinda rough again.  Sand again and wipe with the alcohol.  keep doing this until you can apply the alcohol and the bow still feels smooth.  If you skip this step and just dye the bow it will feel rough to the touch after dyeing.  Speakin from previous experiences here, LOL>  :)

Thanks Ohma.  It's proving tough to take it slow now that I feel so good but I am trying, LOL.

You are welcome, straightarrow.  Glad I could help.

Thanks Parnell. :) Hope you get stuff straight at home.

Josh
Glad to see you back.
Don't push it though! Take care of yourself. Who says prayer don't help!
Now to the bow...WOW! Love everything about it. Really like the way you blended the colors. That is functional ART at its best!

God Bless
