Title: Cave painting camo
Post by: shadow on March 31, 2012, 04:58:07 PM
Just messing around with my B26 stock, got tired of the old camo. I had this idea of  hunter cave painting's that I had seen in photos and went with it. I layed the stone effect down and then went to looking at different cave drawings and picked out some for the hunters and game with some print's thrown in here and there. Click on pic for closer view. Ed

Thanks brothers and warwolfmk2 shoot me a line anytime if you want something done simular to this. I had never seen anything done like this in camo and as always try to stay outside the camo box and REALTREE effect. This kind of camo also doubles as a conversation peice at the hunt cabin. ;) Ed

Absolutely brilliant Ed, you should patent the idea and sell it to pse, jennings,bear or some other archery company. Really great execution too, looked just like the primitive stuff on the rocks. J

Thanks bro and a spent several days looking at cave drawing and picked out some drawings that caught my eye. I thought this camo would look good on camo clothing also. The action is back in the stock and hopefully the weather will warm back up to get the Ghogs back out. I can break in the camo on em hehehe. Ed

Awsome job.
I found some huge 30"x30" tiles that had smiler drawings all over them.
I cut them into 6" squares and tiled the bottom of my master shower with them.
