I stained a bow that I backed with raw hide, the stain didn't "take" on most places. It has a camo affect to it now. Interesting look but not what I was after.
Can raw hide be stained at all or do I have to do something to it first?

I’ve stained quite a few rawhide backed bows I’ve built using Fiebings leather dye. I usually sand the backs with 200 grit sandpaper before staining. Some have a mottled or camo look while others are very consistent color. I think the rawhide grain affect how it takes the stain.

Perfectly normal. I love that look. I made my buddy a rawhide backed rig many years ago and he calls it "grilled cheese" because the rawhide looks like grilled and buttered bread :)

Hey I m into tie dye. Looks cool. I’m confused about the. Shine finish though? Looks more dull in the fade area. Is that’s what is coming off? If so wrong shinny. How’s that go? No lacquer on true oil but you can true oil on lacquer . Correct me if I’m wrong. I’m not a paint man for sure. Arvin

Thanks guys. I appreciate the responses. Steve, I like your bow. I'm going to make one for my son soon. He would love yours.
Pearl, that's a good description. That's what mine looks like. Burnt grilled cheese. I'll post some pictures if I can.
