You are an artist.  That's a beautiful bow there.

Thanks guys,I didn't know how the woods would look together,but my wife picked em so we built!! I think they look great. Thanks to V-archer for the pic of osage and purpleheart!! Didn't have osage at the time so we went Zebra.

[draco]

Wow! You really did a great job on this one. The blending of all the woods for a total overall great look is excellent. She should be proud to be seen anywhere with it even on a bad hair day.

beautiful bow,kenny!

[Bodork]

Beautiful bow Kenny. I love that purpleheart under the clear glass. It's a unique look.

[V-Archer]

Hey Kenny,

The bow turned out just fine, great job!!    
I take it that your wife is pleased with the bow.
How's the lams, any nice red cedar yet?

Sweet bow, Some great work, I bet she loves it. But if she hates it let me know, and my son will take it off your hands.

very, very nice bud  

[kennym]

Thanks guys!! She really likes it,gotta get a good string made for it and some more arras for her. Arnold,I got a good bunch of cedar in,got some pics,heres a pair I cut yesterday...
 

And the cedar pile..

 

Only bad thing is the knots,a lot of throw away pieces!

[bentpole]

Kenny, great job on the bow. Question: Would the knots in the cedar lams weaken them? Thanks! Tom

[kennym]

Tom,for thin veneers,I don't think the smaller pin knots would. Those bigger ones couldn't be good tho. JMO

[bentpole]

Thanks! One more LOL! What's a better wood for lams Juniper or  Cedar?I'm wondering how a Bubinga riser with juniper or cedar lams would look. Thanks Tom

[LEOPARD]

That's one great looking bow Kenny! Good job!    

[kennym]

Tom, MDOC says red cedar is a true juniper. We always just called it cedar round here tho.

Thanks again Kenny.  Tom

Very nice, Kenny!  Great job on lining up the arcs.  I never tried putting them in.          

That cedar you have looks great and cedar limbs make a great shooting longbow.  They look really nice on an osage riser, too.     :cool:
