Nice bows! The grain on the second one really stands out, you need to tell us the woods again.

Red palm and hairy oak? Eventually I'm going to be an expert on aussi timbers just reading these threads. I really ove the look of the palm. Very unique.

thank you fellas! As Little Ben rightly said they are Red Palm and Hairy Oak. I do appreciate the comments from accomplished bowyers such as your selves. Neither timber is something that is readily sourced
