Another beauty Robert. That's going to pop.

Even just using black glass would look great with that riser...

Coco would compliment the red and black accents really well. or some sort of crazy rosewood.

The only black glass I have is 050 and 030, I need 040 for this build. I do have some santos rosewood...

Very sharp riser.

got it glued up and cooked last night,today I pulled belly tape off and snapped a couple of pics. Veneer is East Indian Rosewood and Tapers are amberboo. Got limbs shaped and filed the nocks enough to get a string on it..it pulled 50 @ 28" on my scale so it will finish out arround 45 lbs @ 28", got the tips glued on and will shape them tomorrow and check tiller again, the limbs were close just 1/16 difference but I still have to round edges alot more and recheck..

That is looking really good. Can't wait to see more.

had to take a 7 day break from the shop..I messed up my spindle sander and had to order some parts. got it back together about 7 o'clock tonite.. shaped the grip and shelf just have a couple of hours of hand sanding and I can spray finish it..looks like it will come in at 45- 46 lbs at 28 inches, I think this one is gonna be a shooter and may become my new favorite bow..but I'm already thinking about my next build..

Robertfishes · « **Reply #16 on:** April 14, 2012, 06:01:00 PM »

almost done, sprayed a couple of coats of shellac on to seal it up and to show any tool marks.. had a couple of places that need more attention so I'll sand those out next week and apply final finish coat.

That is looking sweet. Nice job.
