Nice! I like the dye too. Nice crisp line between the two colors. Love the grip too. Every thing about that bow is megatron! If my next one comes out half that nice I'll be pumped for the whole year.

Justin, the Gray color is black leather dye diluted with rubbing alcohol. I used the gray all over the whole bow first. Then I taped off my lines with painters masking tape and put 3 rivers alcohol based black walnut stain on the grip and tip area's. Nothing to it. It only took me a couple of minutes......

Thanks Keenan. I appreciate it.

Thanks RCS..

Thanks Kegan. Glad to help you out any time bud.

Thanks Shannon. Your quite a artist yourself !

Thanks October. Anybody can do it, its not hard, it just takes practice.

Thanks Radius...

Mullet, I'm Mr. Mom you know......
