Beautiful bow Bob.        

[Dan Landis]

Bob, you sure make a beautiful bow, especially like the overlay on the back.

[bigbob2]

than you David and Dan.Yes the hairy oak stands out in the overlay.

[David Flanrey]

It is really hot here today.  Couldn't stand it too long in shop but did get a little work done.  Working on a longbow riser wif lots of pieces.    

 


 

Here is how it went to the oven.

that looks interesting, what is the dark colored piece ,actionwood?

[David Flanrey]

Bob, the black wood is diamond wood from Bingham.  The redish brown wood is grenadillo.

went for a nice walk, let one deer at about 7 or 8 yards walk, because i just could not thread the arrow thru the bush with a clean conscience.
man, that asat leafy camo is awesome!!!

missed a young male grouse- over confident- could already taste the grouse stew, as i hastily released  

saw loits of fresh bear poop!!- full of salaal berries.

Finally finished sanding my latest bow. Took forever, seemed like every time I picked it up I was sanding on it! But I'm pretty pleased with the outcome! All I need now is to put on some buffalo hide. Was trying to finish it by this weekend but it looks like it'll be next weekend now. Here's a teaser pic for now.

very very attractive- whats the wood combo's
love the contrasts- yet still all the same kind of tones!!
not to abrupt a change!!

[Crittergetter]

Thx Fujimo, it's cocobolo, tiger myrtle and black phenolic from Big Jim.

[David Flanrey]

Man, I love those colors together!      

[Crittergetter]

Thx David. When I talked to Big Jim I told him I wanted some dark cocobolo, he said he had some that was almost red but I wasn't sure how it was going to look with the myrtle. I'm glad I listened to him. He did good!!

[bigbob2]

that is very attractive! Great bow!

this will get leather on the grip [I almost hate to on curly maple!]

[delongbows]

That combo is sweet...I love the classic look of the white glass.

[bjansen]
