Wood Burning Tool
Pappy:
The belly I am sure would be OK. But I wouldn't try it on the back.I want my back as smooth as a babies behind.The raw hide deal Minuteman mentioned would probably work,never tried it but a good idea. :)

John Strunk has a vine maple bow that is totally stained in charcoal and it looks pretty sweet. He just pulled some from a camp fire, mixed it with some water and rubbed it directly into the wood.
If you want a "burned look", why not just take some charred wood and rub it in for a cool burnt/camo look? You could cover the whole bow of just take a chunk and use it like a fat piece of chalk.
If you try something cool and new, please share with us OK?
Good luck!

Bull, I have used charcoal with water and bear grease to color bows, especially hickory. The charcoal gets in ther grain and really shows it off nicely. Pat
AndrewS:
The colouring with the charcoal sounds good. I have to try on one of the next bows.
I think, you can make a tattoo in the rawhide and then back the bow with. Newbies on the tattoo job will train with ears of a pig. May be it will work with wet rawhide???
