finish over horn belly

(1/1)

bubby:
I was wanting to know on your horn bows do you apply your finish over the horn or just leave it natural and buffed out

mullet:
Mine has Truoil over it.

bubby:
Thanks Eddie

PEARL DRUMS:
bub as you know Ive never built a horn bow, but I have used plenty of horn overlays. I have found If I don't seal it with shellac first the oil finishes will peel off in time. If I stick some shellac on first then tung or tru oil, it works great and looks great after lots of use.

bubby:
Thanks Chris that is my deal too, lots of tip overlays i already have two coats of shellac on her, I'll do the writing and one more coat then tung oil
