I don't know about you guys but does it look like the bottom part of the lower limb needs to loosen up a bit?

I took the bow over to my friend Asia Murray's house so she could to a quick doodle for me :)
Sketched it out on paper, then using a pencil to transfer the image to the bow and then finally finishing it with a brush pen.




Bear


Salmon



After that its time for a base coat of shellac. Shellac is a good foundation because it stick to ANYTHING.




After about an hour I can start applying all 10 coats of Tru-Oil, applied with my fingers.
I'll do 3 coats then sand with 400G and repeat then coat #10
Then a nice wet scrub to give her a satin finish.




And that's it!
