Nick-working on resizing pics now
Looks damn great Nick. Keep 'em coming :readit:
Great job Nick, The Olive wood is beautiful.
Nick, That is a picture of beauty. Nice job !
another fine job.
Beautiful bow Nick, you're a very accomplished craftsman. When are you gonna let us know how that bamboo backed ipe recurve turned out? Kirk
you sure make some fantastic bows nick. this one is no exception.
eric
sweet looking bow, the olivewood is great looking, I have a muzzel loader with an olivewood stock and the wood has so much oil the scrapes just rub rigt out. real purty bow, Bub
Wow, you're just pumping them out at the rate of knots!!!! I really like the Olivewood riser, it's really beautiful! Peter
Very nice Nick. Looks great.
Oh, I've been waiting for someone to build one with olive wood! That's sweet looking Nick! Oh to have lots of bow building time...
P.S. Nick, did you have any glue issues with the olive wood? Any special prep?
tom,
no issues! wasn't afraid of it either. The wood didn't feel greasy at all, but even if it was the powerlam would've probably eliminated any troubles.
Nick
