Title: The Camo Look
Post by: bow101 on February 06, 2014, 01:45:18 pm

Where can I get the camo look for the limbs.  I think someone on here posted something about that, like some kind of tissue paper or something.   ???

Here is a how-to on the tissue paper backing.  There are different patterns of tissue paper available besides the stripes.

I've been making hickory bows with a bit of the cambium layer left on the back.  Sand it smooth and thin.  It makes a really pretty and splotchy camo pattern.
