Title: Bow signatures

Hi guys my name is Drew Gordon and I'm new here. I'm trying to work out a bow signature I should use? Any suggestions?

Whatever you like.  Generally aside from the name, the intended draw length, bow length, and draw weight are also written on the bow.

hey, welcome from uganda.
i am originally from a little further south.
as mud said above, whatever takes your fancy i guess. most bow makers either seem to use their name incorporated into it,
or relate to a significant River or mountain range in the area.
But, Uganda is pretty unique, thats what i would be going with, or something to do with the nile.
what are you buuilding.
i have a bunch of friends that work down on the Nile- white water guides. they're still guiding- i just moved on i guess.

"Drewganda" "Drewn", use what feels good to you.  I put the weight, a "name" for the particular bow, and just use my initials..

What do you guys use to write your signatures?
I used a fine tip sharpie last time and it bled real bad when I put the next coat over it.

India ink, they sell it in pens that are pretty convenient to use.
