Refinished Drake Hunter Flight

tippit · January 21, 2015, 02:20:00 PM

I purchased zippercurve's project Hunter Flight before heading to our farm in SC for the winter. I refinished it this week just in time for my B'day. It's a great shooting bow coming in around the low 40 pounds...tippit

I managed to save the original sticker...

Great job on the refinish!

I love the Tru Oil finish and often use it on arrow shafting too.

I use Tru Oil on most of my wood knife handles too. Plus it is so easy to add a touch up coat anytime. My Dad used to make gun stocks and only used Tru Oil...guess it's genetic

Wow, Jeff, Nice job!! Tru oil sure does bring out the grain!! Blacksmith....big bear killer.....bow fixer upper.....Is there anything you cant do??
