Primitive Archer trade bow ready to ship out. (Tattoo revealed)

That kinda makes sense because you already darkened everything else on the bow around it, so maybe it will always show contrast no matter what age it is.

Awsome job, you make some great bows and whether you know it or not, you have had a huge influence on how I build my own bows.

sweet bow and very cool tattoo idea.

Looks great. And it can work on white wood too. Apply a slight stain or just put several coats of finish then take off the sticker. i would think the difference in layers of finish would always show.

Great idea and very impressive bow, DVS! That would create a pretty good camo on the back of a bow, I would think.

sticks- I'll send ya a pm.

semo- thanks alot. I'm glad I can help. Feel free to use it, just be sure and show me when you do!

stan- the idea started with camo. Use leaf paterns and lines that you could remove over time to have different shades. I've wanted to use it to sign my bows with dvs in stickers and ship them out with the stickers on. The longer they are on the cooler it would look I think.

Very creative, most guys wouldn't share their secrets with the masses, but that just shows what kind of true character you have.
Thank You.

DVS think I could snag a copy of the pm for how this tattoo is done.... SUPER COOL!!!

DVSHUNTER · April 25, 2011, 04:32:00 PM

the tattoo was simple, it just takes time. After I finished the bow, I put on a few coats of shellac for a finish. The found some stickers that had the font letters and size I was looking for. Then I put on the leters and left them for as long as I could wait. Then pull em off and you're done. It's that easy.

Great bow!!! See ya at the tennesse clasic!

Never thought of the tatoo. What a brainstorm!

Johan van Niekerk · April 28, 2011, 08:58:00 AM

I think you can do a whole "camoflage" pattern as a tattoo. Would give a great effect having all natural wood but still a camo feel to it too.

That is a cool idea! Simple things always turn out better IMO.
