Title: Little lady with some pretty makeup
Post by: JonW on October 20, 2012, 07:56:13 pm: This was a piece of wood that I left outside for about three years in the weather. There were some cracks running up and down both limbs after I chased my ring so I backed it with some rawhide. I chased the tiller all over the back yard making this one for some reason. I finally got it looking decent. 65# @ 26". 53" NTN.

Del if you start making shorties you may never go back to them ELBs ;)

Post by: robbcolejr on October 24, 2012, 03:22:37 am: Beautiful bow! Out of curiosity what kind of paint is best to use on a bow? I'm a newbie, and I'm making a hickory flatbow, but I'm not backing it with anything. Is paint a bad idea if the bow is not to be backed with anything? If not, then what's the best kind of paint to use?

Post by: JonW on October 24, 2012, 08:22:08 am: If you wanna paint it then by all means paint it! That's what I like about something personal. Make it look like YOU want it to look. I like acrylic paints. They are cheap and I like the lack of luster to them.
