AAARRRGGGHHH!
« on: December 17, 2018, 02:36:27 pm »
How many people have thrown in the towel and just use the first coat of tung oil to show up the tool marks? I spent an hour going in and out of the shop to use natural light to find all the tool marks. I was sure I had them all until that first coat of oil. How could I miss something like this? ;D ;D

Tool marks do show up well after the first coat of finish. Maybe that could be a tip to add to the list of helpful hints.  ;)

Those look deep enough to change the tiller if sanded out.

I'll let you know. They were about 10" from the tip. Took about three light scrapes to get out.

I was so happy to hit Final tiller, I couldn't have seen any tool marks anyway! :BB.  Btw, I didn't do anything to the back, as I put a pale green paint and rawhide wrappings on for a Meare Heath look!
 (lol). All my final reduction was by scraping.

Do you process your own Danes for the oil or have you minions for that?

If the bow is staying with me the marks stay, not something I worry about.
