Newly tillered Yew Bow--beeswax finish application
« on: December 13, 2007, 02:22:54 am »
I have just (maybe) finished tillering my first Yew bow.  I would like to finish it with beeswax.  Any suggestions on how to apply it, how many coats, etc.

Thanks.

Rub the bow with the wax, and heat it to let it penetrate. A heat gun is really good for the job.
