Hey folks, I'm staining my first cedars and want some ideas. I was doing a search and came across some camo type satin job some did, they were beautiful, can't find them now.  If ya'll wouldn't mind please post some pics of your finished arrows!!!!

Thanks!

Here are some super-stealthy camo jobs I made for a recent hunt.



The main shaft is an aniline stain, then I stained the crown with Minwax, and sprayed the cap with hot pink enamel. I think it was enamel...I dunno. Some spray can from Home Depot.

Before fletching.

what did you use to draw those feathers on

Just a Sharpie. I am looking for something finer. Maybe I can get some bowyers to tell me what they use to put stats on their bows.

NICE ARROWS KILLDEER. I ALWAYS SEE THE STENCILS ON **** FOR BURNING STENCILS ON ARROWS. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY ARE ANY GOOD???

Thanks Killdeer, I like the looks!

Killdeer, Nice work  

KILLDEER,  We like to mark up our arrows too.   My son draws a deer hoof print on his arrows.   I just found a super fine sharpie at Wal-Mart and it works great on the POC arrows.

  BTW,  Nice looking arrows.

Mark, are you kin to Ross and Honey?
Those are the quintessential traditional arrows, straight from the Golden Age! Beautiful work there.

them some nice looking arrows.

These are black analine stain on the shaft and Rit dye on the crown.

Not really stained, as such, but a cool effect anyway! I do these with a blowtorch!  :D

Hey Killie, you may want to try a drafting lining pen.  I have used them in the past and they work really well, you can get them in an assortment of sizes.

If you don't mind, How do you apply the stain to get that camo look????? THX Skyler

Beautiful work, Everyone!

All right, Cary, I gotta know!

I agree... how do you apply that camo stain?  Those arrows look sharp!
