I've had the riser block glued up for some time and finally got busy on it. It still needs to be shaped but I did get the site window cut in and roughed it out. The limbs are spalted maple- the riser is rose wood with a zebra wood "I" beam- I'm shoot for 55-57#@ 28". Here's a few pictures

Nice bow once again from your self.

Can't wait to see it all finished up, those woods should really pop then, although they look real good now, without finish.

Nice! If you need an address to finish it off I can send you one

Dave, great looking bow. I love the riser shape and the limbs are to die for. As always great job.

Really nice work, I like your style.

Thanks guys- the riser should really polish up and look nice once it's finished- I did use some of the rose wood as knife scales this spring and liked the way it finished.Right now I'm hiding inside because it is 103 degrees out in the garage right now

Any build-alongs for the mosaic?? The more I see, the more I like. Great bow

Not really a build along but this is how I do them... First I'll glue up some different width stock

Then I rip the blank close to the finished thickness and then cross cut them to the width of the riser

I glue the pieces on to a piece of glass-

I sand the squeeze out glue off and then glue the other piece of glass on when I glue it into the riser. I know there are different ways but this one works for me.

awesome ! thanks, that looks easy enough. I'll give it a try sometime

That's a beautiful bow. The mosaic stripes and the limb veneers are sweet!
Would love to see a braced and I braced profile.

Here you go Dan- btw your build along helped get me going on this one-

I like the limb design. I bet it is very stable. Thanks.
