Dana,
That is a beautiful bow and one nice gesture. I  too am glad you found a good home for it. I just love the finish you gave it. Could you give us more on how you did it?
Thanks,

Thanks Frank...eh :D

crow the finish is easy, I used fieblings leather dye, first I dyed the whole bow a solid British Tan then came back
with black and used a crinkled up piece of wally world bag to sorta blotch it on, go easy on this part as a little goes a long way,
practice on a piece of scrap, you can get as fancy as ya want and use multiple colors. Final finish is Tru Oil

Go to the Post Office today to mail the bow to its new owner :)

Dana,
Thanks for the info. I will definitely give it a try on a future project. If it turns out a fraction as good as this one I'll be happy.

Dana, you are correct about Stacy being very capable. I know she will be very proud of it and put it to very good use. You are the man. Very nice bow as well.   Kenneth
