finish question
« on: May 10, 2017, 03:24:29 am »
hi folks. Can anybody tell me if Truoil is an acceptable finish on sinew and leather covering? I intend using shellac on the horn belly but i wanted a colourless finish on the back.lew

Tru-Oil would be compatible over sinew and/or leather. It will darken a little, even yellow some. I'm not sure what finishes are used with Asiatic horn bows but I think I'd use the same finish over the whole bow. Contact James Parker. He has made lots of horn bows and puts an incredible finish on them all.
