I just finished a 58" youth bow, two sides, belly and back, hickory, with deflect in the glue up. Leather wrap handle, bend through the handle design. All my bows are bend through the handle if I can help it. I have a few bows cut to zero, with a static handle. Anyway, Palofin Verde as a bow wood finish, has exceeded my expectations and I consider it to be superior to any top coat for bows. It's just a preference, but wanted to hear from the experts, so I am asking.
