Bows / Re: Ink for Bow Specs
« Last post by Eric Krewson on Today at 09:40:04 am »I use white archival ink and letter with an extra fine nib calligraphy pen, the ink is acrylic so if you goof up you can wipe it off with a wet paper towel and start over. The ink is a little hard to get to flow so I start on a piece of cardboard, when the pen is working right, I letter my bow.
I put a couple coats of Tru-oil over the lettering to lock it in place.
White stands out more as the wood darkens. I have already applied the finish to the rest of the bow before I do the lettering.
