Skinned this bow for a friend that likes things a little different. Shows how the background can influence color.

That looks awesome. Give us some details on the bow and the color influence.

Thanks !
Osage recurve with silk backing that was painted brown. Painted over brown with off white,rust orange, burgundy. Lightly steel wool back through different colors for effect. Then skin as normal. I have been using Epifanes varnish, great stuff.

That looks wicked, Chuck! I love how the paint shows through the skin, it gives it a whole 'nother dimension. Fantastic work, and thanks for the details!

DVS, I have already shipped the bow. I did not make the bow, just skinned it.

I got two pairs of coppers on the way. Guess what is going to happen , One of them is going to be my personal bow. I can do anything I want with it. This is going to be fun.

God bless you all, Steve

Thanks again everyone. Steve, have fun, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Probably orange, beige and black just to enhanse the natural colors I will lay the skin out on the limbs first and mark the appropriate areas ;then mask and paint the beige . then the orange over it./ black will be the limb carbon/

At least thats what I'm thinking right now./

God bless, Steve
