My Bad - it is a double sided board - thought I hit the right pictures but….. not. Trying again!

I got some discounted veneers because they had holes in them. (character flaws) With a brown curly riser.

You are nailing your style there stic! I love these color accented bows and I think the shapes are very appealing

I saw that some recommended Super Grit so I ordered some Zirconia sanding belts and price was good, 96 dollars, but shipping across the Pond is getting high. USPS International now 91 dollars for a 10 pound package.

Yes between the shipping,taxes, duty,brokerage fees, the dollar exchange ect ect anything I order across the border if it’s $200…..  it’s $400 by the time it lands at my door  :saywhat: but if it’s something you love to do …we get over it.  :deadhorse:

BJ-S those are sweet limbs! Do you document your carbon process anywhere? What resin are you using?

I used Prepregs and cured them in a Veneer Press, using the given pressure and about 100°C.

Just came back to the mainland after a trip to Svalbard,a very special place. There is Polar Bear warning for all the islands. If you venture outside Longyear city which is the only town with a population of 2500 people, you are strongly advised to carry a rifle and flare gun. The no gun sign is from one of the shops.

Looks like a very cool place, Bue. The white stuff on the ground looks nice. Must be pretty cold there. I'm ready for that here.   :thumbsup:

Yesterday I got these new limbs, profiled, and a string on them … a major thank you to Kirk for all his help . I had to put everything on hold… back surgery was this morning. They tell me it all went great in the hospital for a few days and a bit of a long recovery at home. Can’t wait to get my life back and get back in the shop and of course, back to work after being laid up for 15 months. 👍

Finished one up this week in my favorite combo.
Walnut and maple. Love the iridescence in this maple
