My next bow build ( All done!)
« on: December 30, 2014, 07:39:00 PM »
With deer season winding down I figured I needed another project, and what would be better than a bow!!! Got a shipment from Big Jim yesterday!          cocobolo and Tiger myrtle riser with cocobolo veneers! I'm gonna build this one for a buddy of mine. It's a surprise!  Hope he likes it. Im not gonna do a build along cause everything I learned I learned from you guys. But I will post a few pics as I go!

It's actually darker than it looks here. I've got an overhead light right above it. Maybe that's why. Roy, I already got the riser pieces cut down so I'm pretty sure I can get by without it the rest of the way. I can grind down ther riser and limb profile on my big sander if I have to. But just in case I have been throwing a lot of sweet talk at my baby!! Lol.

It's pretty stuff.

REALLY PRETTY for cocobolo.

Looks just like bocote to me...and I am a big fan of bocote.
...funny what lighting will do

Got my lams all skived and glued together this afternoon. But I did make a rookie mistake! Had my board clamped to my grinding table,    guess I didn't have it all the way to the belt and startd grinding the first joint on a set of parellels. Apparently I didn't have a good grip on them either!      I couldn't have lined that shot up any better if I tried!! Thank God they didn't break. Just had to touch up the ends a little!! Lesson learned!

Sorry, but that's pretty funny.
Glad you didn't ruin any materials.

Very pretty wood.

Does that qualify as a "lam Robinhood?"   :)
