Title: Type of paint for back of bow?
Post by: hurlbri1 on May 05, 2013, 07:45:56 pm

Hello all!

I'd like to paint a design on the back of my rather wide Holmegaard, what kind of paint, marker, ink transfer whatever works best? I usually finish my bows with an orange oil and beeswax sealant.

Thanks!

Brian

I used acrylic paint on my last one. Used to coats.

India Ink is the best.
