First attempt at "stippling"

[snag]

Well it wasn't a great job...it was my first attempt. I will be sanding it down a bit and then spraying another finish on it. I wanted to allow room for the finish, so it is a little deeper dimpled then the finished stippling will be. But boy, it sure shoots better! Really feels good in the hand.

I can see how that would feel pretty good in the hand. I think you did a really nice job, once the finish is on she will look sweet.

Snag I think its A pretty good job, I'd love to see the finished product...Might get that done on mine.

Looks real good to me.

Looks good Snag. I have done 4 or 5 bows, and it is easier than folks think. The biggest hurdle is getting the nerve to try it the first time.

Looks good to my old eyes!  

[Jon S]

What did you use to do it?  That does look good, and once you finish it, it will look even better.
You say it shoots better, is that based on grip on the bow or does it change the characteristics of the bow in some other way?
Thanks

Looks good to me.  

[Big Ed]

Yes Snag,tell me more.

I was surprised that it held more stable in the hand..no twisting or not as slippery in the hand. I used a dremel tool with a rounded head. I am already thinking of other ways to keep the "pattern" more even. The biggest challenge to me was to get the dimple started so it's edge touches the next one.  I am hoping to get some finish on it tomorrow.  
I tried practicing before hand...need a lot more practice though.
Steadman, I have my fingers crossed for the drawing on April 29th!!!

Looking great so far.  The few risers I have felt with it have been great and did just what you described.

Looking forward to the finished product!

Good Job!!

[DHR]

That looks sweet, I'll look forward to the finished pics.  I may have to give it a whirl myself.

Hey David....it looks great, once you spray it you'll be surprised how nice it will come out.

Thanks Tim. Not bad for a rookie. I need some more experience though. But I'm happy with it. I just have to push the perfectionist in my aside...haha

Well, here it is with finish on it...I am very happy with the way it turned out. But must important is the way it sits in my hand. It is a really shooter!
