Thread: Custom Restore W&B Bow 7/8 in Cocobolo

Another one heading home to Brian tomorrow

This one started off in pretty good shape, comparatively speaking




I polished it out with some 400 &600 Greaseless keeping the etching intact it went into the tumbler for a week extra as I was waiting for a shipment of wood to come in for the scales... The finish is near perfect...

Brian wanted Cocobolo scales and I found these two blanks after the cut down... I fell in love with the grain figure, as both sides have two eye-knots and I managed to keep them all... the finish took three tries before I got the look I wanted, 5 coats of wipe on Poly over sealer and buffed to a low gloss finish and hours and hours and I finally like it...

All brass hardware and 3rd pin conchos, the 3rd pin is actually sheathed in a square tube for a different look but I could not get a pic to come out...
















Had to add this pic for my buddy Gugi just B.E.cause

The patience for the perfect G- wood finish really paid off. Beautiful piece of cocobolo and that blade turned out stellar.

GREAT restore Glen! Love the wood and every thing else about this one. It all comes together very nicely. Great pics also.

Awesome job, she look's very nice,gratz!!! i like the way the grain stands out on the scales.

very very sweet looking cocobolo wood, love the grain in those and how you have the grain in both sides flowing together perfectly

Great job Glen! Love the "wood design"! You "match" really well both parts of the scales! Fantastic!!

Really beautiful work, Glen! The scales have a great pattern to them.
