I recently finished a hickory takedown selfbow for a young man who is quite a bow hunter. The bow is 66” NTN and is 44# @ 24”. I stained the back with Fiebings leather dye and stitched on a black leather handle wrap. Finished with six coats of Tru-Oil and a spar urethane spray to dull the shine. Good luck with your new bow Nick. Thanks for looking.
