Help looking for staining info

bentstick54:
I’ve tried searching for past posts on people who blended different color stains on their Osage bows with little success. Can anyone help point me in the right direction. Picture of some I’ve saved from somewhere in the past as an example.

mmattockx:
I would look at superdave's posts, he has done some spectacularly nice staining work in the past.

Hamish:
 Dean Torges popularised using dyes on his osage bows.  I would check out his book. and videos. He was a meticulous guy with his woodworking/bowmaking processes.

Pat B:
 Dean Torges used aniline dye powder with denatured alcohol. Fiebings leather is an aniline dye in alcohol and works well on all bow woods I have tried

Thanks guys. Pat I’ve got a couple of shades of Fielbings on hand I’m playing with. Assuming Truoil should go over it fine.
