I sure like the looks of that riser sweep into the fades.

Thanks, that's a great compliment from a expert bowyer like yourself.
The limbs have your bamboo in them, looking forward to shooting it.

Bocote and Amazakoue.
One with clear coat, one oiled.
Both beautifull bows.

That bacote looks great!

Very nice BJ! What oil finish did you use?

B-JS · « **Reply #465 on:** September 25, 2024, 12:59:05 PM »

Thanks.

I used a dark gunstock oil.

Looks really nice- is that the total finish?

B-JS · « **Reply #467 on:** September 27, 2024, 01:14:00 AM »

Just the first wet coat.
Finished, it's a Bit darker and not that shiny.

Gotcha!

I finished up 3 bows for good friends today.
Kenny M sent some spalted ash veneers that look wild with pale moon ebony.
All 3 have Kirk's bamboo in them and shoot great.
I really appreciate you guys pointing me in the right direction.

New DR bowform coming along.

Getting ready to go. Template is made with a computer guided laser cutter, so now it is up to me to not mess up.

Looks good, I still love your machine ya got there. That’s the Bee’s knee fight there.

chefrvitale · « **Reply #473 on:** November 01, 2024, 04:13:01 PM »

Agreed! I was admiring that as well

Added a power feed to my mill for the New year,
makes x feed alot faster and saves the wrists.

Buemaker · « **Reply #475 on:** January 01, 2025, 04:40:40 PM »

Looking good, I’m a bit envious.

You are going to like that. It makes machining a lot smoother being able to adjust the feed rate. Do you have a DRO on that machinist table yet? If not, I can share a cost effective solution that works well. Kirk

Wow, some cool stuff on this thread!

I've got a RM juniper bow almost ready for some elk sinew on the back. Juniper wood is beautiful stuff and an absolute joy to work with. I've broken a couple juniper/sinew bows in the past--there is a lot that can go wrong with them. Fingers crossed that I'll get it right this time.

Nice color on that wood. Looking good.
