Wondering if anyone has a bow with stained or dyed Birdseye. Riser or limbs. I have seen plenty of Birdseye bows, but do bit recall seeing it in anything other than he natural blond. I know it is a popular choice in guitar bodies, but am not interested in an electric blue bow.

Top riser is Birdseye, bottom is Tigerstripe. It does not take a lot of stain (as in darkness) to make them "pop". Hope it gives you an idea.
Good Shooting,
Craig

Dye it rather than staining it. Stain obscures the grain a bit but dye makes it pop. I don't have a pic and it probably wouldn't show that well anyhow, but I stained bird's eye maple limbs black on a longbow. I named it spot. From a distance it just looks black, but up close and in bright light you can see the spots. Kind of like a black leopard. Black on black is subtle but interesting.
