camo technique for bows
Postman:
That is COOL! :o
What brand dye didya use, and what did you put over it if anything?
cowboy:
Nice camo job Dan - don't lay that thing down in the woods :).
DirtyDan:
Thanks, guys. I use a set of dyes from Tandy that is used for dyeing leather. They sell a set for about $30 that has about 12 different colors in it. I also buy some alcohol and water based stains from Woodcraft and Rockler woodworking stores from time to time. You can also use RIT dye mixed with water, or you can just mix up some acrylic paint and water it down and use it for a stain. Almost any paint or stain is just pigment powder added to some sort of medium like water, alcohol or latex. You can also make your own pigments as Billy Berger does it, using natural clays, fruits, and minerals. I will probably try to use all natural ingredients the next time I try this.

THoward:
Very nice. I have been seeking a way to camo my next bow. Do you have any pics demonstrating your secret technique on a bow or board? If you ahve them I and I think others would really enjoy seeing them. T
DirtyDan:
T, I don't have any pictures demonstrating the technique, but just experiment; you can do it.
