Art,
I also did a search and found an interesting exchange amongst stock finishers a year or so back. I tend to agree with your statements concerning epoxy sealing prior to an oil finish. I've tried numerous finishes on recurve bows I've made and settled on polyurethane but it is far from perfect.
I can relate to your typing cause I'm a hunt and peck guy myself. If your up to it, I'd really like to try your finish method. Is there anyway to find your previous post and do a copy-paste so you won't have to re-type it? Or forward the post and I'll look it up.
I really appreciate your taking the time to respond.
