Made a trip to KC today, came back with jatoba(2 on left), moradillo(2 in center), zebra (2 on right), and some sweet birdseye maple that I forgot to take a pic of! :thumbsup:

I think the inspector even approved! :D

Oh, forgot to say that is a small part of what I came back with! Went overboard a little....as in may end up walkin the plank!
Kenny - Those are gonna make some real nice lams for one lucky customer of yours. I might have to try jatoba in the next bow I build for myself, but if I build myself another bow right now, my wife will have me walkin the plank.
Hey John, the jatoba is a sleeper, my son picked a pc I had for his bow, I was pleasantly surprised. Sooo, when I found a good stock of it with some good grain, I picked thru it and bought a bunch. Now I just gotta get it on my website! :cool:
Here it is in a limb...

Now you're just teasing me Kenny!
That does look very nice. I'll definitely consider jatoba for my next bow. Can you use it for the working lams or is it best to use it as a veneer?
BTW - That bubinga you sent me a couple weeks ago looks great. I just have to get some leather for the grip and it will be done. I'll post some pics.
Good looking Zebra wood, gray action wood riser would make a cool accent.....
Those look like winners for sure Kenny, I should of took a pic. of my boss too, Looks like mine and yours have the same job!
At least it can be a very pretty plank! :)
The moradillo I purchased off Kenny some months back is just gorgeous under clear glass. Very Sharp! Good haul, Kenny.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thanks guys!
Already got into a couple, very nice lams!!
Dang Kenny, those are some awesome looking planks. That will make some very nice bows.
