Looking good!  I really like the walnut/maple combo.  Both woods are very common here and I hope to use them together in the future.

Thanks Dave.I finished the riser with a few coats of tru oil to fill in the grain on the walnut.Then three coats of Nason clear automotive finish from my hVLP gun,I then scuffed it with a scotch brite to dull it down a bit.Lastly I rubbed with medium rubbing compound until i felt it was the "semigloss" look i was wanting.I did this on my last longbow and it seems to be holding up well so far.Scott

The bow looks great, but your house in the background is very nice as well.

That maple/walnut combination is great!  Congratulations on your bow build and for having the patience to post your pictures.  I'm not brave enough to do that yet!     :banghead:   Your bow is at a perfect weight also!
