? How to do a marbled crown dip?

[recurve_shooter]

This is really cool.  I have some lam birch arrows to dip and crest and I will try this.  Just have to decide on the colors now-I agree with the earlier comment about Red and Black!

I never had any luck with marbling, but my son invented an awesome method that is similiar. Do a base crown dip, then while it is on your crester and spinning, take 3 brushes....very fine, medium, and a little thicker.

Using 2 or 3 different colors, jab random places with the brushes....don't let it stripe....a white base with black and silver looks just like birch bark...

Them blue arrows look pretty good I thought.
I thought about doing some like this. Good thread

Roger,

Picures...we need pictures...

Brunner showed how to do it in his "Making Wood Arrow" video 25 years ago; anybody still have that one? I lent mine out...

I know a fellow who puts paint on a sponge, then rolls the arrow across it.  He made some beautiful sets for my wife.

Joey--that is hitting below the belt--I  cannot  be an ol' timer yet!

I think my buddy has that tape...he is  supposed to be putting a bunch of tapes on DVD for me...I will see if he can isolate the marble crown dip and post it here.

Fall turkeys???  Fall is for stuff with BONE on the head!  Next thing you know you'll be telling us about using dogs on 'em!  There is nothing I am looking forward to more than getting to see the turkey hunting presentation at PBS in March.  If things go well, next spring I will be 3/4 with shotgun, muzzleloader, and stickbow      I really need to talk with you about the Osceolas--I am never going to be able to outbid Biggie...

Biggie is no problem..i'll put Exlax in his sweat tea....he'll be removed from most of the bidding....thanks for compliment..hope i do not disappoint you!

I saw a guy marble capp with a slow running crester one time and be dang if i didn't ask him what kind of paints........they were absolutely gorgeous like some of these guys arrows on this thread..
