I've got a problem....
« on: April 21, 2012, 08:56:00 PM »
Alright maybe it's time to accept that I have a problem. I went to the local exotic wood store today. I told myself I wasn't going to spend any money, that I was just looking. But you know how that goes!  After sorting thru the entire lot of macasser ebony I ended up coming home with this beauty.
 
 
 
On my last visit I purchased an exceptionally figured piece of bocote. I think these two will be a match made in heaven. Just can't decide on limb veneers..... Maybe another trip to the wood shop will solve that!    :bigsmyl:

That Mac ebony is some pretty stuff.  I see another trip to the wood store in the near future.

I love going to the wood store even if I don't buy anything (which hasen't happened yet)  That ebony sure is sweet looking stuff.

Always a good way to spend some free time.

I vote brown glass and diamondback skins rather than exotic veneers

Never skinned a bow before.... but that's a thought. Here's the piece of bocote I got when I went the last time.
 
 
I can hardly wait to get a riser made out of these two.  :)  There is definitely going to be alot of "planning" on this one. Don't want to screw anything up.
