Awesome. Looks like it was worth every bit of trouble to me.

I love the red stuff, got a super sweet stave curing.  That turned out beautifully, Clint.

Nice looking bow. Never have seen  any red Osage.
Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

That finish is superb.  Do you prefer the pure 100% Tung oil, or do you go with something like Formsby's which has other stuff in it?  The latter is all I've used, and it makes a nice finish, but I'm wondering if the pure stuff might do a better job, and I'd definitely trust your opinion.  Thanks!  Beautiful, beautiful bow.

Thank you.  I used the Formby's tung oil.  I apply it with a cosmetic wedge.
