Finally caught up the most necessary things, and Renee asked when can I build her another bow. So I started one to keep the peace.... :D

Pics of the beginnings soon......

Here is the core and lams, amberboo core, quilted maple (with a bit of curl) that is a bit darker than the usual white.

The dark lam (leftover from veneers)is sprayed with clear for approval rating. She likes it!

Glad to see you building a bow! Looking forward to some great pics.

That quilted maple is stunning under clear glass- if you hit it with a little dye it really pops!!

Here is the plan for riser, the 2 maple pcs will be stood up and glued to phenolic...

All stuck together...

May be all I get this weekend, other stuff to do still!

Trux, I thought about dyeing it, but with the riser the same wood, figured I'd hate dyeing it after shaping. Guess I could dye the core all the way out too tho..

It is darker than most maple already, have to think on that!

Glad you didn't dye it. Blondes have more fun anyway.

TNstickn · « **Reply #18 on:** June 01, 2014, 06:23:00 PM »

Tuned in just in time.

kennym · « **Reply #19 on:** June 07, 2014, 02:04:00 PM »

She came in a little heavy at 42# for the first pull. Looking for 35, so should be no prob at all!
