Mitch, I add the wrap then soak it with the Massey finish. Last night when I did this I just rolled up a paper towel and made a brush of sorts. I then dipped it in the finish and dobbed that on the cord wrap until it is all saturated, taking care around the leather floppy rest not to saturate it too. This morning it was all cured out and ready to go. It makes a great, all weather handle wrap and is cheap and easy to do.
  Thanks everyone. I've enjoyed getting back into building and have come up with a few ideas I want to try now.    ;D
  Clint, any time, any bow.
Jesse, old habits die hard.  ;)   Glad to see you back in the loop.  Sure would be nice to have some cheese curds with my cold beer at the Classic.  ::)
  Dictionary, I have a "How To" on the Floppy rest if you would like it. It is an invention of Mickie Lotz(The Ferrot)
Josh, my "corner of shame" has produced a few fantastic bows over the years. I never burn screw ups. They disserve another chance. It just has to be the right time for both of you.  ;)
  Danny, we have all been there. I've been doing this stuff for 25 years or more and my first 10 years were rediculous!  ???
Seabass, both Twin Oaks and I appreciate that. I have a good feeling about your chances!  8)

Lesken and Country, you will be winners if you come to the Classic. This little "come on" is just a very small part of it...but your dollars are welcomed in the jars!  ;D
  BB, this will be a great little deer bow. I'll need to make a set of Eastern Woodland hill cane arrows for her.
  Thanks Kip. It really feels good to get back into it. I needed the respit but now I'm back. 8)

Thanks Okie, but you'll have to forgive the fake grin in the undrawn pics though.  :-[

Good looking bows Pat. Your tips look nice!

Pat you are a bow building machine. Two more incredible bows.  The tillers look spot on and the profiles sure do show the quality of your work!. Very generous gift as well!
