Bocote and Beli. Hard maple for the core wood. Plus, an accent strip made from Beli, Black Palm, and maple.

Ok, forgive me. I'm not much good with making computers cooperate, but this should detail my progress thusfar.

Ok, looks like it worked.

Anyway, I went with spliced veneers of Bocote and Beli wood with a maple accent strip in the joint. This same theme is carried out in the riser as well.

She's in the oven cooking as we speak.

Here is all I got, wanted to put an arch in riser like Craig did, but don't think it will work with the way I'm doing the riser on this one. So 2 straight accents....

Actually riser has 6 pcs...

Oh MAN, the top piece of riser slid a 1/16" !!

I'm gonna go pry it apart and fix it.

1/16"... let's see that is 1" divided in 16 parts.... carry the one.... double it..... take away.... awe screw it.... Leave it be Kenny.

Crap.....

I feel sick....

Cannot believe I just did that...

I flipped a god dang veneer. So, now, I have my pencil marks where I wrote, "This side down" clearly visible under the clear glass. Ugh....

I swear, the only way I could be any dumber is if I were bigger.

C. Johnson · « **Reply #91 on:** January 28, 2018, 10:15:00 PM »

Well, I'm not gonna finish and ship this friggin' atrocity.

Back to square one.....

C. Johnson · « **Reply #92 on:** January 29, 2018, 12:41:00 PM »

Just ordered more glass from Binghams....

fujimo · « **Reply #93 on:** January 29, 2018, 12:46:00 PM »

Ohhh Chitttt..!!! Get inventive... Put a logo or something there... Maybe some rhinestones or spell out the victims name with glitter...

That reminds me........I been meaning to tell kenny to stop using sharpie on my “future veneers”

C. Johnson · « **Reply #98 on:** January 29, 2018, 04:22:00 PM »

Oh, it will make a nice looking and otherwise perfectly shootable bow. Just not going to send something like that to my bow swap "victim".

That's what I get for allowing myself to get distracted when I'm doing a glue up.
