I had Marty build me a bow blank and he was kind enough to put some pics on the bowyers bench for me to see before he ships it. I think he did a fantastic job and can't wait to get this projct going....check it out on the bowyers bench!!

Thanks guys, I'm excited to get started on this project. Just got to take my time and it should be a good shooter!

Thanks guys! I actually screwed up building his riser. I had planned zebra/osage/zebra and had it ready to cut out the fades when I realized I was building a straight bow not an R/D. I went back and laminated the back piece on to make it flat again. I think it turned out better than the original plan. Ron picked all the wooods, I just had to figure out how best to make them flow well.

Looks nice and Marty's bows are also known to be shooters.

Geeeez Marty, wish I could "screw up" like that!! Great combo for the riser and the limbs look great. She'll be a real looker when you are done. Have fun, Ed
