Finished a couple...Ash and Mulberry

[mwosborn]

Been busy working on several bows since hunting season ended the first of the year.  Here are a couple I have finished up - thought I would share.

Made these for my 2 kids - although they haven't taken a strong interest in bows I thought someday maybe they would appreciate something made by Dad!

First is a 59" mulberry  40# at 24" rawhide backed - stained with diluted black leather dye and a cocco brown water based stain.  Finished with tung oil.

And here is the second - Green Ash - 62" 40# @ 23", no backing but toasted, stained belly grain with black leather dye and then with "wine" rit stain.  Finished with tru oil.  Thanks for looking.

Thanks Jeff - I like the looks of mulberry.  The two mulberry bows I have made have both taken some set.  Think I might try making a bit wider one next time - maybe try toasting it a bit too.
