Man Pat you are going to make someone's year in the third month.  That thing looks great.  Can't wait to see some shots of her when she arrives at her new home.

Your sponge and leather dye pattern on that bow is fantastic, Pat.  Really looks primitive and it is very effective.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. Different types of sponges will give different effects. We used to use this method for dying leather belts and bags when we had our leather shop in the mid 1970's.

Hmmm, I wonder how this would work using a feather instead of a sponge????

Do I smell a staining build along???

Buckthorn is at 4 1/8" reflex all by itself and I will get to tillering n the next week or 2  ::)
Still got the mulberry to tller too but got sidetracked by a couple reworks of past less than awesome bows. Seemed like a simple idea at the time and then opened up some worms.

Will be posting them in a short while (week or 2  ;))

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

JW, you could probably get some pretty cool designs using a feather.

I remember that thread. I think Dan was the first person(that I know) that made a turkey feather bow backing too. I think it is his artistic brain coming through.   Haven't seen Dan around here lately.
