Thanks a bunch guys, I really did put a lot into this one. Although I was hoping for a few things to go differently than they did, I am still pleased with it.
Thanks Kyle, I was going for a light brown fade, but I couldn't disagree with the red once it hit the osage.
Thank you Ed and bjrogg, I used white India ink with a dip pen somewhere in the middle of those 8 coats of Tru-oil.
Sorry about that draw length pearly, maybe you will get used to it.
Thank you for all of the comments guys, I really do appreciate it.
