NEED TO SIGN IN WHITE
« on: April 20, 2012, 12:29:32 am »
  I just built a 55" HICKORY  54#@26" Started with about 1 ,1 1/2 of reflex turnee out dead straight. It's my turkey bow since I gobbler hunt off my butt. And I let my bow standing againest my truck last spring when a old guy stoped in the road to talk. I remembered about 7 hours later to late by then. But I took the ride anyway.
     I mixed my own trying to get gray it looked good on some draw knife shaveings off the floor.  But it stained  little darker than I wanted. It's to dark to sign with a black sharpie. I've never signed bows with anything other than black. Never needed to.
  Tell me some of the white permit makers you all use.

You can buy white India ink. I know a few folks that use white India ink especially on osage so the writing still shows up after the wood darkens. You can also get gold and silver markers that work too.

DeRon hit on my solution. Sharpie paint pens, six colors(including white) less than $20.
They come in handy.

I use all Testors paints and antique quill pens. Works good. I like fine writing on my bows more so than chubby letters.

This letters better than anything I have tried so far, cheap pen, extra fine point, water based acrylic ink. Got a few miles on that bottle of ink, hard to read the label, it is "Speedball Super Pigmented Acrylic Ink"




Produces very fine lettering with a little practice.
