Kenny,

Heres a shot of the hickory I'm gonna put in the riser,should I stain it or leave it alone? Maybe I'll put some finish on a test piece of both woods........

might make some killer lookin veneers,can I waste it on a riser???

Nice!I wouldn't dye it. Those contrasting colors looks good to me.

Hickory is never wasted , no matter how it's used!
And besides, it's for the BOSS!

Kenny stain it. You could go with a real dark red and it would lighten up as you know. I cannot wait to see it! Shawn

Should be pretty...I look forward to seeing the finished bow.

I`m with Shawn on this one. Stain red,then sand real hard to take the stain off the hard grain and leave it in the soft parts. That should give it some contrast. Bob

I really like the look of those cedar lams Kenny! Looking forward to the finished product! Cheers, Matt

Kenny, that's gonna look great. Be sure to show us the finished bow. Maybe even a tease or two as you build it wouldn't hurt! Mike

kennym · « **Reply #12 on:** January 01, 2008, 10:04:00 AM »

I thought about the stain and sand plan,still thinkin....

Have to do some test pieces when it warms up to at least 11 degrees! LOL

Got a brand new plan,wife went to KC with me today to look at lam wood. She comes carryin this over and says "you can make me a bow out of this for my birthday!"

So,new plan, all purpleheart bow with some kind of dark flare in the riser.?? At least I hadn't had time to get the other one glued up!

Hi Kenny,

I just finished a new R/D bow with purple heart and osage. This is just to give you an idea of the riser.
I'll post more pictures soon.

I sooo envy you guys that can make your own bows. Based on what I've seen in the past, I'm sure whatever you decide on is gonna look great.
