Title: Painted Osage Orange finished! (Full Draw pic added - scroll to bottom)
Post by: Thunderlizard on March 07, 2018, 12:16:51 pm

Howdy!

This is my first bow, built a couple of years ago now, which I recently touched up and made prettier and sturdier. It’s 64” ntn, about 47#@29”. Buffalo horn overlays secured a bit more with whitetail sinew. Rawhide backing secured with whitetail sinew, painted with simple acrylic and coated in tung oil. Hopefully I’ll remember to post a full draw photo soon!

When I read the title I thought why paint an already beautiful piece of wood.  When seeing the actual bow I realised how wrong my assumptions were. An absolutely stunning job.

That's one good looking paint job. I've been trying to find my artistic abilities to paint a bow, but it usually looks like I scribbled with a crayon.

Full Draw. Awkward hand placement because I usually cant the bow when shooting, but for the photo, I’m holding it totally vertical!

Hey,
Nice bow!  I like the paint job very much. I want to paint one myself, but not sure of my abilities. Keep up the good work!
