Don Case:
I did a more in-depth search and got a few hits. The steel wool/vinegar was the most popular and also the one I already knew about. It looks like you can use just about anything to get the colour, it's fixing it and making it colorfast that takes the knowledge. I'll keep poking around.
Thanks
Don

JW_Halverson:
Steel wool and vinegar is more than a simple dye, it's pigmented and won't fade.

If you make the bow from osage or mulberry and leave it where the sun can get to it, it will stain itself!  I love the color of old osage.
