Really awesome Dan!
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.
Re: Just like Christmas morning
Ready for her first hunt in the morning. It still needs a few more coats of true oil but I couldn’t resist bringing it along.

It’s a shooter too. I’m pretty excited with how it turned out.

Great looking bow! Hope you have success with it.
Re: Just like Christmas morning
Poly won't dry on bocote worth a crap.
Here is what I use and its only a suggestion. I don't build enough bows to warrant a sprayer and booth.
So I use auto clear coat from Oreillys(cause it's close) , red can think it is Perfect Match but I'll look to see brand.
It dries quick and I put a couple coats on limb edges , then shoot the whole bow a couple.
It is very gloss so I either hold the can back about 20'' and give one more coat for a frost finish or buy a can of wheel finish matte in same brand (taller black can) and spray normally.
Some guys are using VHT brand of clearcoat and I think they have matte in it also.

I had that thought earlier about the Bocote, but you were to quick for me. I could not get the Tru-Oil to dry completely on Bocote, stayed tacky, had me in the flesh, ended up sanding off a couple of times and trying again! Finally took the route Kenny recommended.
Re: Just like Christmas morning
Thank for the tip guys. The tru oil is a tiny bit tacky on the bacote still. May have to get some of the clear coat
