Looks great!  Really like those brush nocks.

[Aaron H]

You got a FD pic?

[bowmo]

Here's a braced pic and a head on view of the flared brush nocks, showing off one of my typical shabby and questionable tillering strings. As usual, no one around to take a full draw pic for me.

Beautiful bow.  Would you describe the dying process--what you used, at what stage of the finishing you applied the dye, and did you apply the oil
When that dried?

Best regards,

Russ

Look bow. I'm going to try brush nocks one day.

[bowmo]

Comancheria: I used a blue aniline dye mixed with denatured alcohol. I completely finish sand the bow, add the dye, wipe it down with more denatured alcohol to make sure the coat is uniform, let dry, and then steel wool. The tru oil is then applied over this.

Scottski: No, you look bow!

Nice looking finish job, but where is the FD pic?

[Comancheria]

Thanks for the info, bowmo.  I like the way dye allows the grain of the wood to show through where paint would not.

[Arrowind]

coooool!

[bowmo]

I live in a world where I may not have a person around to take a picture for me for a week or more. But, finally had someone around to snap a full draw for me.

[PEARL DRUMS]

Now I will tell you, nice bow!

[bowmo]

PEARL DRUMS: Haha, thanks man!
