While awaiting supplies to build a bow for Rick, I decided to build one for myself. This "Ossabaw" model has been my most popular since I started building it, and I don't have one personally to showcase at all the hunts I go on. Anyway, I had this beautiful wood and lams and decided to try them together. I think it's simple but elegant. This is the first non-laminated riser I have built. I think the ebony will hold up fine though. I plan to build the riser and tip overlays out of the asian ebony as well. What do you folks think?

Looks great to me, I have a bow with cherry lams and they look even after 12 years. Should be real nice.

Here you go Matt!

Here are a couple for today. I'm trying really hard to finish her in time for a hunt on Thursday! I was shooting her this morning!

The riser will get quite a bit darker when finished. I'm liking the colors alot.

I really like the dark/light contrast...would also look great in a Cumberland!

Do you have enough left to make one?

No, but I know where to buy more. It's expensive though! This piece was 2X2X18 and cost me $44.

Real nice! thats actually a good price for that nice a piece of wood.

looking fwd. to the finished pics.

Lamey I was just thinking the same thing, try getting a piece of bee's wing Nara that size......you'll have a whole new appreciation for your $44 riser block.

Apex Predator · « **Reply #12 on:** November 30, 2009, 05:27:00 AM »

I'm not saying it's not a good price, but I normally use $10-20 woods.

What a great combo! Really good looking bow

Nice combo Marty! I really like that cherry!! :D

Apex Predator · « **Reply #15 on:** November 30, 2009, 09:20:00 PM »

Yeah that cherry is quite popular already. Don't sell it all man. Save me some, cause I'm working on a couple of orders now that just have to have it.

Wannabe1 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 30, 2009, 11:10:00 PM »

Dang Marty, that is shaping up to be a real good looking bow! Can't wait to see the outcome.

Apex Predator · « **Reply #17 on:** December 01, 2009, 08:34:00 AM »

Here she is folks. I'm very happy with her. I need to find my new "killin stick" a good name. She is 62" long, and draws 48@27.

Tater 2 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 01, 2009, 08:51:00 AM »

That is one fine lookin' stick!!

Great wood combo, bet it shoots as good as it looks?

mmgrode · « **Reply #19 on:** December 01, 2009, 09:53:00 AM »

That's a beauty Evith! I really like the contrast between the ebony and cherry. I'd bet cocobolo and ebony would look pretty sweet as well. Thanks for sharing the bow with us! MG
