Black and White Ebony Morrison Risers...2nd riser pics added pg1
« on: March 10, 2010, 06:43:00 PM »
Well, it's been a two year process with this piece of wood. I started searching for it fall of '07 after a thread about Black and White ebony got me hooked. I eventually found this one and sent it to Bob 3/08.

     

Even after 2 years, plus who knows how long it had been drying before I bought it, moisture was still off the charts. This summer, probably because he was tired of hearing me call to see if it was ready, Bob decided it would never dry like in my lifetime. It was time for drastic measures....time to slice it up and hope that would speed up the drying process. A few months on top of the register of his shop heater and bingo!

The better news: Bob said he could get two risers out of it! So, besides the Shawnee I had planned on, he also built me this beautiful ILF.

     

     

     

Sorry for the washed out pics, its pouring down rain and I couldn't find anywhere with enough light for good shots. If UPS comes through, the Shawnee will be here tomorrow and I'll post pics of it then.

Thanks for all those guys like Leatherneck who went by the shop to take a peak and encouraged me to hang in there and not give up on this piece of wood. It was definitely worth it.


The Shawnee riser arrived today....many oh man am I blessed!

Reminds me of the mottling in a Golden Eagle feather. Flat out beautiful, and unique. Congrats on your (and Bob's!) persistence and patience.

Thanks for your kind words.

Killy, all I did was throw money in the cookie jar every month...Bob did all the hard work.

Dan, no limbs yet, just the riser for now. My number will be up soon for a set of ILF longbow limbs and I hope to have the money for them by then. The Shawnee that is coming will wear my Dakota foam/carbon 64#@27 longbow limbs.
