I've used a Sharpie but they eventually fade. I now use India ink with a coligraphy pen or a quill pen.

I use a Sharpie brand Paint pen. It's oil based, and extra fine point. It hasn't smeared once. I picked it up at a craft store.

Why a marker, of course. Use industrial Sharpie's. They last longer than consumer versions which will fade in a year or less. I've had industrial Sharpie's on bows for 10 years.

I use white India ink with a metal nibbed calligraphy pen. I use it on bows, arrows and leather. It works great for me.

Would a stamp work?

I tried the India ink and calligraphy pen with the metal tip,but could never get it to work right.The tip keept diging into the finish.Now i use a fine tip art pen thats water proof.i still put a couple coats of finish over the writing.

The Sakura pen-touch paint pens work well, but I have changed to india ink and a quill pen. I like the ability to write very small and fine, which I can't do with the paint pens. Here is an example of each.

Oh yeah, the bottom one definately looks better. Do you know if anyone has ever tried a stamp of any kind? I read somewhere that Bear uses silk screen to put thier logo on, do you know how that works?
