The braced one still needs shaping and will have a Rattan wrap for the grip, floppy leather arrow rest 2" above center.

The other bow are ready for spray finish

you ever try Photo room





From top to bottom--, Osage veneers Osage Riser, Bocote veneers African black wood riser, Olive Spectraply veneers and Osage riser,  Spalted osage veneers and Riser
The Orange is Padauk




Rattan wrap

Wow! I'll say it again; You make some fine looking bows. Nice to see some uncluttered, yet eye catching bows.
You have an artists eye for simple elegance.  :notworthy:

Where do you find that rattan.  Sure looks nice and clean. 

What are the strings for??

Those are great looking and doubtless great shooting bows you're making. Very well done indeed.

Beautiful works there Max!  That rattan is a fantastic idea.  I'd love to see a finished photo after it got all shaped out.
