Thanks for all the advice, encouragement, and kind words everybody. I decided to use carnauba wax to seal the bow and arrows. Hopefully that will let them continue to breathe as they need but provide me with a functional and protected setup this weekend.

Those osier arrows were a little bright so I darkened them up with some alcohol-based pigments. Added some garment leather for the grip - it's super grippy and comfy now.

Just drew first blood on my knuckle sharpening Zwickeys. Is that a rite of passage?
