there is a how -to on skinning a bow... All you need is skins, glue, cleaner ( actone )and a good sealer like tru-oil.

Painting a bow is easy and cheap. Make some templates of leaves or branchs and get some Krylon camo and go for it.

what would you seal it with?

There used to be a product called Bowdull, a spray paint which was easily removed and came in several colors.

I like to refinish my used bows to original condition. I use a camo pattern "sock" (sewn fabric) covering the limbs to hunt.

Here's what I did.

I've done one like two arrows (though not as nicely done I might add). It's easy to do and is a cool way to personalize a bow, imho.
Deadbolt, I used a clear waterproof spray I bought at the hardware store. Don't remember the name, just asked the guy for the toughest waterproof stuff he had. Since it was shiny, I just gently touched it with a papertowel as it dried. Couple of coats and it was good to go. Last I saw, the new owner still had the same finish on it (with scratches/wear of course)after 2 years. I think I spent $15 on all the paint total.

Another solution is to send it in have it camo dipped. There is a great sale going on til the end of the month. Check the sponsors classifieds.

After I paint a bow I put a light coat of Deft satin on it. It becomes really durable...
