Type of Finish for rawhide.

I'm making my first bow, a red-oak flat bow and I have backed it with rawhide. I'm wondering what kind of finish works well on this produce. It is white/translucent at the moment which won't work with hunting as you can imagine.

I don't do anything different with rawhide. I just finish it with the same product as the wood... usually a polyurathane. The nice thing about rawhide is, you can paint it, draw on it, etc. to finish it if you want.

Ah thanks a lot fella. I was worried that using the same finish might do something untoward to the rawhide. This alleviates my concerns.
