Yeah, looking at John's avatar I think the solid green was a good choice, but you probably should have told him before you painted over those veneers he was so fond of    :smileystooges:  

Congrats John. It's looking like a bow, and that zebra fang is a knock out!!!

Soon...

The green was my little surprise.

I decided to go with Bolivian Chart wood.

Thanks for the pics Kirk!

These pics don't do your work justice.
They make it look too easy.
Just "poof" and a bow is glued up.

Doesn't give a clue into the hours of thought,designing and building the molds, the templates, R&D, sanding, and all the other stuff I don't know about..

Thank you for your skill and time bro..it's been great...and getting better all the time..

At least you and I have had some pretty good clues for what to expect. Pete's dark horse is the I'm kinda holding my breath to see. I think that zebra with all the dark woods, accents, and glass is gonna be cool!

Pete, what are you thinking for tip overlays?

All tip overlays are subject to change without notice, and the design totally dependent on the bowyer's attitude at the time..... live with it.   :biglaugh:

We talked about tips and Kirk threw out some combinations , they all sounded good, so I told him I would trust his judgement.

I think Mike's bow is cool...

But I have a bit different plan this time around.
