Bill you are the feather backing expert.  That bow looks amazing.  I bet it will look even better in the sunlight with all the colors changing in the feathers.  I can't wait to see it at moontree
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Hey Dakota Kid....The more I think about dried butterfly wings, the more I think it might be difficult to keep them flat against the bow, I have trouble keeping the feathers flat.  I wait until the epoxy gets tacky then push or tap the feathers down to make sure they are against the bow back.
But, good luck and please report back with your results.....

Thanks Clint ! it will be at Moontree for sure....

Till next time,
DBar

For sure, the backing is beautiful. But bow's proportions & graceful curves are what struck me immediately. "Marilyn" would been appropriate name, though not quite macho enough!
Congrats on a very successful outcome!!
