I've been looking for a white or silver Sharpie pen to put the specs. on a bow I made with black glass limbs. Can't find one, does anyone have any suggestions on what else I could use.

Calligraphy pen, archival white ink. Get the extra fine tip, practice a little to make sure you get the ink flowing just right before you letter our bow. If you goof up you can remove the lettering with a wet paper towel and start over.

"Calligraphy pen, archival white ink." Great tip, I'am using these acrylic black pens and every time I coat the bow afterwards with water based polyurethane the ink smears. :eek: If I write the specs on bare wood it seems ok.

Where do you get the archival white ink?

I got my ink and pen at Hobby Lobby, any craft store that has art supplies should have it.
The last I bought didn't say archival on it and was labeled "Bombay India Ink". It had an eyedropper top on the bottle.
