thanks, no I didnt seal the bow with anything, for 2 reasons.. first, my choice is already super dense and sinks in water. So by my justification, if it is more dense than water, I don't think there is too much worry of it taking on excess moisture. Second reason is, it shouldn't see any wet weather anyhow. With a sinew string and non modern sealed sinew wraps on my arrows, like primitive man, I wont be hunting in wet weather. I also have a hunch that sealing bows is more of a modern idea than primitive. I am not entirely convinced that grease doesn't actually add moisture to wood. Although I may be wrong one way or another, who knows, So far so good with not having a sealant on the bow. I've made some whitewood bows in the past without any sealant, more or less to see what happens, and they never suffered any excess string follow than any regular sealed bow... so again, I am not real convinced it does much unless you are actually hunting in the rain. All speculation of course.
