Thanks again for the comments guys, I love making bows and its nice to get feedback from ya.
Glis- The brownish areas of the limbs are leather dye that I applied and after dry I rubbed some dry ground raw umber earth pigment into it to highlight some grain then lightly blended it with a rag dipped in alcohol. The area at the handle and towards the tips is the bare locust wood and the art designs are acrylic paint, umber with a small amount of black mixed with it. I enjoy the finishing part of bow making but often have
to stop myself before I go overboard with the paints and designs.
