Few shots here of latest couple of bows I've made. An osage 'character' bow with a few knots and bumps, and a takedown with all Aussie woods.s1382.photobucket.s1382.photobucket.com

Thanks again guys! ---and Roy! :bigsmyl:
Kenny the wood, bottom part of veneers is Tasmanian Blackheart Sassafras, bit of a premium wood here. The other is Burdekin Plum which has beautiful swirling grain in places. Making a sister bow to that one soon which will be reverse of it Sass. in center of riser and plum either side.
