It is a really nice bow. Saw it yesterday and thought Dave was going to have to fight Graybuffalo for it.

It came close. That is a good looking bow. Dave did have to help pry my fingers off it.

There aint much to it. Finish the bow like you normally would, then buy sticker or use anything that will block the light and then leave it in the sun as often as possible. The new osage will darken pretty quick even with the little bit of sun we have this time of year. By the time MOJAM gets here, it will be pretty dark.
This is a picture of me "working" on the tattoo.
This is one finished.

A little over a month of sunning and it is definitly darker. Here it is next to "fresh sanded" osage. It should get much darker in the next three months. I'm still putting it outside almost everyday and still putting it under a uv light at night or when its raining. I keep peeling the stickers back to sneak a peak. I gotta stop doing that.

Nice bow and nice gesture.
The story behind the bow is FUNNY. You gotta love a good time.
Nice job David

Alright I finally took the stickers off and put the final coast of finish on her. I had my friend Glenn make up a special red white and blue string from show me strings. She is ask ready to head off to her new owner before she gets deployed. I snapped a few more pics to show how the tattoo turned out.here they are.

What a beautiful, meaningful, and "Right Stuff" bow that is DVSHUNTER, and a truly generous/thoughtful gesture - bless your heart.
