Cleaned shop and first coated the riser. Got to sand and respirator. The figure in this Rosewood really popped! Gonna start the write up on the build this weekend.

Went wood shopping and built my ILF longbow form. Picked up some good looking Bubinga, Bolivian Rosewood, Curly maple , cherry for cores and some nice Walnut with some figure.

Got to stop buying wood and get some limbs built!

Ready to put the formica strip on my mold, but my contact cement was frozen...

It has been a bit chilly here in WNC lately and you got more snow yesterday. All we got was a light dusting.
Are you buying your wood locally?

Jeffries Wood Works in Knoxville. Best prices Ohave found. I have gotten wood from Cormark in Weaverville, West Penn Hardwoods in Conover. Jeffries may not have the huge variety of West Penn, but they have the best prices I have found .

I would buy more rosewood . The store I go to stopped having it. Thay told me that thay can not get it any more due to CITES laws.

Yes, it is getting hard to come by!
I have enough for 3 more risers and probably 3 limbs if I want to use it for limbs as well.

My wood store can’t seem to get 2” in anything but short 2x2 for turning

Several places I go, that is their wholesale business. Cutting dimensional lumber to resale as wholesale. I have to travel 2 hours either way to get to good mills.

Getting creative to use 4/4 when I want larger thickness...

What's wrong with Cormark?

Higher than Jeffries and not layed out in a manner to go "hunting" Jeffries has everything sorted really well and will cut board to what sections you want

I do stop at Cormark when I am in the area though. Got an extremely curly maple piece there last time and some bloodwood

I finally finished the renovations! 😁😁😁
Now I can get going on some fun stuff. I have a decoy to make for one person, a keepsake box to carve for a good friend, and hopefully, we get enough bowyers signed up to have a swap this year.

I believe they have rosewood trees in Florida...

I am going to start using domestic wood more.

Got my second try at a Kennym FHLB roughed out today. Need to get a better string built so I can put a few arrows thru it, the shop string I was using is a little rough.

I like how you did that!!

Thanks Kenny, you guessed the poundage right on.

Looking really nice. Bacote and maple or amber boo? JF

Jeff, it has birdseye maple accents with boo cores
