Brandon, I'm probably the least experienced on TG, but it looks good to me.  What are you laminations? The zebra wood looks great.

Thanks brother they are red cedar outer and actionboo core.....

here's a lil somthing i did to it.... i had to do a lil flava on it..

congrats, your right that is some nice cedar.  I would make one small suggestion though, laminating a couple pieces in the riser will make it much stronger and feel more solid.  they don;t have to be fancy curves just straight ones will work.  very easy to do and will make a big diffeence.

Looks good to me the cedar really sets if off.  The young man seems to approve judging by his smile.  Nice job.

[Badwithabow]

sulphur for sure i'm gonna do that on my next one... thinkin all osage under black glass with a couple of phenolic strips in the riser...
