Ok here we go...laid up, glued and cooking as we speak. Shedua riser with beautiful zebra wood veneers with a boo core and a set Osage just to set the color off a bit. Hopefully she cooperates and turns into a nice piece.

That’s gonna be another nice one by the looks of it!

That Zebrano is stunning, will be goodlooking bow.

I just glued a zebra bow blank and the limbs both turned to one side. I usually make an x with the grain on zebra if they angle so the lams counteract each other. .035 veneers shouldn't make a limb twist but I'm sure thats what did it. I've glued prob 15 blanks on the form this past winter with nothing like this.

The bow checked perfectly straight with a string before profiling limbs.

When you are in a hurry it isn't good...

Oh boy! I better start checking my mail.

Well, I think it's totally shipable; shoots strong, looks kinda purdy, and I'd be happy to receive myself. Will start final sanding and finishing this evening.

Ok...bow cured, profile roughed out and the tape peeled off..nothing was cleaned so lots of residue but peeling off the tape is always a big step. Never know if all your work is for naught until the tape comes off. No milky spots and good clean glass, I'm happy so far. Now time to get a string on her and see where we are with poundage
