Thanks Marius, I appreciate the close ups. Very well done bow.
I may have to be a copycat and try it.

i just put the first two coats of tung oil on her. how many coats do y'all think i should put on her in total?
Pat B:
Marius, I usually put 5 to 6 coats of Tru-Oil on the bows I make. Some use less and some more. Depends how deep you want the finish to be. Pat
Dustybaer:
thanks pat. do sand or steelwool her in between?
AndrewS:
@Marius
Normally i put 2-3 coats of tung-oil, then I put on shellac or a selfmixed pineresin with alcohol mixture (2-3 coats), then 1-2 coats of tung-oil and last a layer of wax. When I would use only tung-oil I will put on > 5 coats.
