A little sanding and 8 coats of Tru Oil and looks like new.
Very nice work my friend. Looks Great!!!!!
Trap
Nice job. I'm sure she will shoot like a dream.
That's a beautiful bow Bjorn!
Beautiful work, Bjorn. A perfect length and weight bow. Is there an advantage to using Tru Oil over, say, FullerPlast? How does the bow shoot compared to other years? Mike
Very nice Bjorn !! I bet it shoots as good as it looks.
Mike, Fullerplast is great if you have a spray room and respirator, with the Tru Oil you just wipe it on. I use a paper towel, some use just their fingers.
As far as shooting goes, if there is a difference between the 56-58 KS, it is not evident to me-they are all wonderful shooting and hunting bows. The design was spot on in all the lengths offered.
Very nice work Bjorn.
WOW! Real Nice Bbjorn!
Nice. I'm getting something like this.
Nice bow Bjorn!
Great job Bjorn! I am working on 64" 54# '57 kodiak myself. Love the "skinned" one I got from You! Dick
Great job. I have 55 K-Special I love to shoot. Have you ever used the spray Tru-oil? Scott
Congrats for your refinishing work.I find the Ks of those years very appealing and better lookers than the Kodiaks. Is there any difference in how they compare?
Colin and Dick good to hear from ya'!
Ishi, I tried the spray once and had drying problems; but it could have been the wood-need to try it again.
Hi Felix, it is hard to beat the early KS, in my mind anyway, 1955-1958 produced some truly great hunting bows.
Great job Bjorn. I have a LH 1957 KS and really love the way it handles and shoots.
I agree with everyone else on these years.
1958-60 KS is a beautiful bow to shoot and one of the more elegant bows to look at.
For me, it just doesn't seem suited to broadheads and blood and being banged around.
I meant to say 1959-60 KS.
wow that is beautiful work on a beautiful bow.I'am looking for a helper at bowdocs its a great job Bjorn and pays a whole 2.00 an hr before taxes no bennies and no coffee breaks.You looken ? bd
