Capt's 2nd Bow, Osage recurved tips (now with money shot)

[Capt]

Thanks again all for the inspiring comments... I't pains me to do it because i think the Osage has such natural beauty but i think i want to stain the tips and handle into the limbs a bit before i put on the snake skins... just so i blends into the bush better for hunting?

What kind of stain is best both for protection and durability? after its stained and skinned i was just going to seal / finish with hemp oil and bees wax... does that sound like a good plan?

Sweet! I like your drawing plans you showed as well. I've kept a bowyering journal since 2004 and it has helped me think though a lot of bows in progress. Taking them from my mind then onto my hands.

I really enjoyed looking at your whole process here. Again sweet looking bow there.
