Bows / Re: Sharpies - No Go for Bow Layout

Bows / Sharpies - No Go for Bow Layout
« Last post by Burnsie on November 21, 2025, 10:03:45 pm »Well - I learned a new lesson - don't use a Sharpie to lay out your bow on the back of you bow. The lines laying out the profile of the limbs are OK because they end up getting scraped/rasped away. Lines drawn perpendicular across the limb/ bow, and left for any length of of time will leave a stain that won't come out. The black color will scrape off, but it will leave a line. I've worked on the lines, but I was afraid to be too aggressive for fear of violating the back ring. I'm hoping it will all turn the same amber color over time?

Black palm is a generic name, there are many genera of "black palms" and thus many, many different species, which have different properties. Like "hickory" or "elm" for example. The material I used is one kind of "black palm" but I think that it is not the best black palm available. This material feels a bit brittle.
