That looks real nice Don, I hope I can get results that good. I just took it out of the caul and it looks like everything stuck just fine. I'm leaving it alone until tomorrow then I'll start working on it again.
Thanks for the pics.

Bona- Mine will probably end up trapped as well cause I left the boo a little bit thick. Not intentionally, but it just turned out that way. It was getting thin on the edges while sanding it down and I thought I had better stop, but after sanding the edges this morning and removing the excess Urac it appears to be plenty thick. I shouldn't have any problem getting the poundage I want that's for sure.

I use a 36 grit belt for thinning bamboo.

It's already been settled Brock. I think it's best just left alone at this point.

Thanks for the video offer, I appreciate that.

Roy helped me through pm's on a boo backed jatoba. Turned out real nice and was my first good shooter. (thanks Roy)

 I have a bbo that John Scifres built and it is a super sweet shooter so I think I would take any advice he has to offer as well.

 good luck with semo them bbo's are sweet.
