B-JS, what is the wood? Looks kind of like locust.

Right.
Black Locust.

Nice!!

Locust is pretty solid.

Pretty light, but Rocksolid.
And a bit of a diva when it comes to cutting/grinding/drilling.
Burns pretty fast If not processed very carefully.

B-JS looks like some nice shaping of the riser

More pictures of the riser please

Need a Drill jig.
The Placement of the tillerbolts is not 100% perfekt.

Looking good

I always wanted to see what Black Locust looked like! I got a bunch of it and thought about locust and walnut combo.

Thanks for posting!

BL and walnut will look good I think, wonder if the locust darkens ?

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #273 on:** February 19, 2022, 09:54:30 PM »

I have had a piece of it for a few years maybe a bit darker.

I haven't posted, but have worked on a few things this year. One bamboo backed osage and one bamboo backed hickory from spliced slats. I have been playing/experimenting with powerlam thickness. I wish I had better dust control so I could play with glass bows like you guys....but until I get a "real" shop space, it's all natural materials for me.

After Finish

BBO with long 22" powerlam. This is the best shooting bow I have made in 30 years.

Boo dyed with leather dye. 51#@27" and maintained all of its original reflex.
