Thank you Scott, Elktracker, and Cameroo!  It feels good to be back and to see that I can still tiller a bow after all... I was afraid I lost it.  :)

Thank you Denham Archer, Little John, Dave, and Chasing Crow!  I originally wanted to do the bow in Black transitioning into a light brown but my store was out of the brown dye so I had to get red instead... I kinda like the colors too it is growing on me...  :)

Thank you Bullit, hillbilly, and Ken!  Ken I think your arrow is on the wrong side not mine, LOL.   ;D

Thank you Frank, Jawge, and NT!  Red Oak always surprises me too.  It is amazing what you can do with a 6 dollar board, a scraper, and an ambitious afternoon.   :) :)

Damn...50 @ 28 and no string follow?  Very nice.

Love that dye job.

Thanks Keenan.   :)  I am surprised how fast I bounced back too especially since my dr told me it would be at least 4 months until I felt like doing anything.  Glad to be back! 

Thanks Aznboi!  Heat gun is your friend with red oak...  ;D

Thanks Mike!  Still waiting patiently for you to post another paddle bow, LOL.  :) :)  Now THOSE are sweet.

Thanks a bunch Pappy.   :)

Thanks a bunch Straightarrow.  I used the powdered Rit dye that comes in the little envelopes and i mixed it with Denatured Alcohol.  You can use water if you wanted to but I use the Alcohol because it evaporates so quickly and the bow is dry and ready to apply your favorite finish over in around an hour or two. It was dry to the touch in around 15 minutes.  :)  Try it out I think you will be pleased with the results.

Cool thanks Josh. I tried it once with rubbing alcohol and it didn't work real well. A friend recommended denatured and now I know it works...thanks to you. Take care
