I was playing around with some black blue and green. Ended up being my favorite combo. Playing around with colors, (if you can), is one of my favorite parts about sting making    :archer:

I like white and tan pretty good.  I done one the other day that was green and tan and liked it too.  Black and brown is the old standby but it's getting bland to me now.

Green and bronze, and if 3ply brown, greenand bronze.

All bronze on my selfbows, looks more natural, and primitive, too!

I tried letting my daughters choose, they've been pushing red and blue lately.  Of course, I told them I don't know where to buy pink....

I only have black/tan so far. But I would like to try a red/white/blue string for a bow I plan on making, and green and tan... camo effect.

Blue and yellow at the moment.  Thinking of getting some green and red.  Or maybe some black.

BTW, my yellow or gold, seems to not "take" wax very well whereas the blue does.  Anybody else have that problem?  Just curious.
