That looks really nice Kenny and it helped me out. I have about 4 risers worth of Cherry with some nice wavy character. I just have not been able to figure out what veneers would go with it. It's similar in color to what you have there so I'll bet either spalted maple or that Tamo Ash would do well.

BTW, I don't know why some of you like that yella wood so much. It makes the shop seem so much messier. The picture doesn't do it justice, but one little piece of osage and my whole shop is smack you in the face yellow...

Egads! Hope your lungs ain't yellow :o. Did you build that edge sander? Looks nice.

I'm going on round two. Actually have real Walnut this time around. Did learn that Butternut will make a good kids Bow :banghead:


Going to have to decide on a riser


Still need to layup some glass. Hopefully tomorrow. Need to get this thing done.

1 vote for Ash.
I've only seen Mountain and Oregon Ash. I guessing yours is something else?
