Back at it again. I now remove the tape and check for straightness and sand again. I use tru oil to seal. If you use tru oil, make sure you just poke a small hole in top of the safety seal. Also store the bottle upside down. I apply with finger tips. I will apply 3 coats and not sand between coats. I feel application with fingers smooths it out good enough. If I get a run, I will sand it but that's the only time I sand the finish.

Referencing storing the can upside down. It seems to last much longer before it dries out. Just make sure to wipe the threads on the lid and bottle first. I have had this bottle 2 or 3 years. Can't even count the amount of arrows I have done. Even a few bows.

Lookind good. I also like the natural light color of woodies. Makes them easier to find imo.

They smell good, too. Way better than carbon!

Good tip and if I ever get another bottle, I'll be sure to do that. I'd bet my old bottle is dried up.

One point though. That trick doesn't always work with a small bottle of honey.
Sometimes it does and sometimes you have to scoop it off the counter and lick it off your finger. :lol:
Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.

I started preparing my crest. Of course you can use a cresting machine. However, there is a easier way. These are standard solid color arrow wraps. The width is 1",they fit 5/16 shapes just fine. I typically do 1x strip 1/8" wide. However, you can do thinner as seen in the pictures.
