Very nice    Thanks for sharing

Great tutorial, OT. Think I'll do that on my next bow.

Great job.  When we first started staining boo to look like fancy wood I used a cotton ball and stain mixed in Denatured alcohol...you could apply it with a cotton ball...let it dry some... and then dab it with a wet cotton ball and actually lift some of the color creating a highlighted effect...I did a little BBO like that maybe 10 years ago at mojam and then JD (horseapple) perfected it with rubber gloves and his index finger...mine looked like a burl and his looked tiger striped... it's all good and looks much better than bamboo...it's also easy and fun and you can just keep playing with it until you like it IF you are using something like an alcohol based stain...

Thanks for the the history Bob! I knew I had not followed JD's directive exactly and like you say,,, possibilities are endless!!!!

this is what i love about the 'gang, alot of great talent coming together to throw some new ideas on techniques.  

Great job, Osagetree ! That's just a fantastic looking bow. It's so simple i would never have figured it out how you did it. Thanks for sharing.
