They are pistachio. Picked them up from Kevin Connor over at Wood From the West. Pistachio orchards cut down unproductive trees and graft new saplings onto those rootstocks, which gives them those weird, sharp demarcation lines. The orchards were using those cut trees for firewood so Kevin grabs as much as he can and cuts into bow veneers among other things. This wood, in my opinion, is so impressive that I use it almost exclusively.

I've also received some excellent woods from Kevin over there at Wood From the West and the pistachio is right up there as my fav. In fact it's what I'm using in my current build. 10/10 would recommend

That a lot of clamps sooo it oughta work

I get paranoid about even pressure and flatness when the pieces are long like that. The bocote is also 3/8" so I wasn't taking any chances!

I have a piece of 7/16 s angle iron 3 in. Wide and a flat piece to go on top and C clamp the riser pieces. And I do well them for line up in a part that is later cut off.

Turned out well I think. Opinions welcome, tell me if it sucks now before it's glued into a bow!

If you want even pressure do like Stic says and use a straight block on top, then apply clamping force to the block.

Fixin to get movin ...

By the way, my poor victim, end comes outta box and slide the bow out the end. Unless you wanna use a wrecking bar and pull nails...

Screws are heavier and with shipping cost, I just couldn't use em on whole box

I figure if I had no proof of selling it or the worth of it, or getting paid for it, there wouldn't be a chance in hell of getting an insurance claim done on it when they run over it!!

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #277 on:** April 13, 2022, 07:29:47 PM »

So it's on its way to victim ??

kennym · « **Reply #278 on:** April 13, 2022, 07:53:55 PM »

Shipping label is on it but not in mail yet. Gotta read the rules again before I ship...
