Normally I write on the outside of the glass, and just spray my finish over it.

Another cool way is to print out on computer ( UNLIMITED GRAPHICS) and cut out and burn edges, glue on riser and cover with finish ..worked out great for me !

   

I did this one for my Buddie Greg that passed away a few months ago...Were hunting together now !!

im going to end up doing some work on the back of my wifes bow , but its going to be more design and art than simple writing/marking. for that im gonna do the old graffiti marker...

I have done a few bows, with different technique. This is the first bow i have made for my daughter Caroline. I just painted the tribal graphics with a black marker on the back of the bow.

 

On my recurves I did so far I laminated a linen with a camo print under the glass and it just looks awesome.

That is another thing I was thinking about was a camp job under glass - guess it is the same thing?

Thanks for the replies - it is for my daughter I want to learn to build a bow.

I've always wondered why Linin or silk under clear glass would not work great for camo. There is some really neat stuff you could do. I think I may build one for myself and shoot it a couple of years before I do any for the public though.God bless you all with a great day.Steve
