Title: Bow Finishes / Paint Jobs -- Pictures
Post by: Greebe on December 05, 2014, 12:26:11 pm
Hey everyone,

I would love to see pictures of your bows with whatever finish or custom pain jobs you have done.  I am not sure if I just want to do a simple stain job or get fancy as I have seen others do by painting.

I still need to finish the pyramid bow that I got out of storage a few days back and was looking for ideas.

Post them up, I would love to see pictures of your guys work.

Thanks,
Greebe

Browse through the "bow of the month" (http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/board,5.0.html) section and look for a bow that you like. Click the link there, to find the correct topic with more pictures.
It's so easy to ask "post pictures please", but in practice, that rarely results in many replies and many pictures.

Thanks. I know that on many forums this kind of post is fun for people who like to show off their stuff and a good reason to post pictures. ;D I just figured it might be fun.  ::)

Then I will ask this question.  What would be good paint for painting a bow?

Thanks,
Greebe

These are pics of a BBI I made recently.  I did a speckled back on it with gel stain and a sea sponge.
