Title: 2010 Trade Bow Rework
Post by: John Scifres on March 28, 2012, 08:57:00 PM
I sure hope Eric doesn't mind but I had the skins and have been dying to do a real stippling job.  Here's my 2010 TG Trade bow made by Eric Pittard reworked with some python skins and some stippling and sprayed with satin poly  (http://jdspics.webs.com/photos/undefined/2010TBRemake01.jpg) .  I really like the way it turned out.

Wow just when you think one can't become any better looking.

What kind of tool do you use to stipple?

I have a Fordham Rotary tool.  It's an industrial quality, Dremel-like, tool.  Used a round bit.  It's really simple to do.  I shot a video but haven't had the chance to upload it yet.

Very cool John. I wouldnt be the least bit upset if somebody improved upon one of my bows to make it better suited for them. Great job on the stippling work.
