Osage gets 3 coats of Tru Oil. I like it to fill in the grain. Then I give the bow 3 coats of Spar Urethane for really good waterproofing. For other woods I skip the Tru Oil. I stan and then use Spar Urethane. Jawge

Is Spar Urethane man made..? Just asking because I guess for that matter I'm using Mineral Oil. I have used it extensively in many other projects, only thing is the oil drys out so you have to seal it with a clear coat.

scrub your fish skins with a soft brush and dawn dish liquid.i use tung oil.it is thin like tru oil and dries overnight.it takes quite a few coats with a thin finish though.

The same makers of Tru Oil make a wax that is super easy to apply and is water repellant as all get out!
