Anyone try using this on your bows. A friend of mine who makes custom guitars sent me a jar after I gave him some of my walnut

He made this fir me and it’s finished with it. He used it fir all his wood working projects. Looked it up. It’s $50 a jar but seems it would go a long ways. Sort of rubs on like tru oil but is a soft paste till you rub it

Yesterday I sprayed the bow I was finishing with helmsman spar. It didn’t set up right so this morning steel soiled it off and put this odies on instead. This one says for the oiliest of woods and darkens with age. My riser is a tropical rosewood so that should be good

My first experiment with it was tubing it on the leather stack after sanding it on this western knife

I've never used it but a friend of mine who builds Mandolins uses the clear and it makes for a VERY nice finish.

This 150 year old Black Cherry tree had some cool defects inside. This one looks like a steer head. Which the friends I made it for are horse and cattle people so they loved it.
These tables only have Odies Oil then Odies Wax. So you can not harm the finish. Even if you dent or mar the wood just add oil or wax and then it has more character.

Odies oil and Odies Dark and butter have waxes in them. So you can use what you have. Apply it lightly, not to heavy. A little goes along way. With ALOT of elbow grease. Then buff or polish It’s More work than a varnish or urethane coating. But much higher quality

I have been using it for a year now. The only thing that I have found as a better moisture barrier is epoxy. I use the oil then the wax. I also have the butter but can't tell the difference. The only draw back is it does take some time to fully cure. The easiest application you can find.
