This is the only one I've done in a true sunburst pattern-not too hard, start with the lighter colors then fade the darker in.

you can use acetone to wash it, or just a rag with most of the stain used up, if that makes sense

Be sure to so a few samples on scrap wood before you end up having to dye your bow black.
Don't ask how I know!

Haven't posted in a long time on here but had to add another sunburst bow. I built this one for the first ABC contest, back whenever. Still the humdinger it was back then.

I remember that bow Timo. Some bows are just destined to be sweet forever.
