2024 Bow Trade - build in progress
superdav95:
heres a sneak peak of the paint job i gave my trade bow. its unique take on camo for the hunter. Im gonna call this bow "Deadfall". I used goat skin to cover my sinew which provided a great canvas for my stain job. I used leather dyes. I started with my lighter shade and worked my way to darks. for the leaves I tried a new technique and used real leaves from my back yard as stencils for dabbing my dye around with darker color. I placed the leaf over the color patch and stencil dab around the outline. I then dabbed the backside of the leaf where the stems were with dye and pressed that onto the outline of the leaf to give a more detailed look. this deadfall camo pattern could be trouble if the new owner sets the bow down in the woods! After my shooting session the other day the bow still holds about 4" reflex. I may still do a leather wrap or just do a bare handle and add a stacked leather micro shelf. Just letting sealer dry up and worry about that tomorrow. thanks for looking.

Killer bow, Dave! That stain job is really nice. Should make an awesome hunting bow. Great job!
Muskyman:
Always liked that kind of camouflage pattern. I used to do a similar pattern with all my recurve bows. Looks great.
