I really liked that white paint pattern!.....for something different, how about using your white paint, but instead of a brush, use your finger to put it on.....I think that would give it enough of a "ancient archer" touch....and I just realized that's your username - well, I guess it seems even more like a good idea now!

    AA76,
 A thought. At the "big Box' stores you can get acrylic paints in a variety of colors, and it is inexpensive. Put a good coat of paste wax on the bow and paint. I f you wish to change something, it usually just peals off. Another benefit is that acrylic is simewhat water resistant, so a hunt through the dripping woods doesn't do too much damage! Try a test piece first . Some waxes are better for this than others. I use Minwax Paste,, works for me.  "bowstring"

Thanks for the tips guys I also no white for hunting not a good choice but aborigine's used white dots and things for face and body paint and decorative pieces.  I think I will use some of the tips on paint and apply black paint with my finger in the same pattern type ...simple but primitive as can be... Hey Ken long time my friend hope u and ur family are doing ok???  I love that maple but now that I changed my job and are not overnights anymore I will be back in the bow scene... lol thanks boys!

Thanks Josh its been awhile since I have done a bow I will take in effect that black for hunting purpuses would be better but also one thing to keep in mind that in other countries white is probabaly the first choice as surroundings like white limestone or sand would have been in effect so since I live in Newyork state unless I am going to decorate a room with Paleo weapons and not actually use it then it will be ok.  Thanks again maybe I'll post a pick of some of the guys at the Algonquin primitive archers shoot this weekend  Dane will shoot it and see how it works!  TTYL guys!

This bow really is a eye catcher. It's unique all in its own and very nice primitive look. Nice job.
