Picked up some brazilan ebony to go with some birds eye maple.

Surprised whenI cut into it! This is the cut side.

Glued up a couple of risers- so far I don't think I'll be disappointed with it.

That's sharp!
I think that'll be a really nice combo!!
Sweet.
I just finished a bow with that combo a month ago. It looks great and has alot of weight.
Mater- it is heavy- I was suprised by the colors in it as I sanded and cut it- don't know if it goes back to the solid dark color after time- but I'll find out. Now to decide on which riser to use first- the top or bottom one.

Had some time to glue up a bow yesterday and got to do some work on it today too- I used the lower riser in the picture from above- since cutting/sanding on it the dark color had all come back. Still needs overlays glued on and more limb work but right now it is around 56-57#'s @28".

Looking great.
Looks good Trux, another great bow in the making. The braced profile looks very good.
looks great!
Got lots of finish sanding still left. Shot some arrows through it this afternoon and am happy with how it shoots. Should finish 53# @28". The brazilian ebony will darken up quite a bit from how it looks now. Now for the part I tend to rush-- the finishing.

looks great!!cant wait to see the other one.bdawg
Finished this about a week ago and the brazilan ebony has really started to darken up- hopefully it gets back to the almost black color it had prior to cutting and sanding on it. The bow finished 53# @ 28" and flings an arrow pretty well- may even get to try it out at an archery range next week if I'm lucky.
