Mine is done but I can't find the string:)

Whew those cherry veneers are going to look great.

Brushwolf those cherry lams are cherry! Very pretty grain.

Thanks! They came out of a really nice board.  I've used it before and this is the tail end of it so I hope ####### likes them. I've been saving it for a "special occasion".

Gorgeous lams on that Cherry bow...I was gonna post some pics of my progress but I lost the bow  :-(   Maybe its with my camera cord in the sock drawer at Roys house...string could be there too.

I dont EVEN want to know why you where in Roybert Redfords sock drawer! Good Lord man!

I was looking for Raspberry Beer...I know he hides it cuz he is embarrassed.

Rasberry PBR's! Probably smokes those Virginia Slim 15000's when nobodys watching him!

Brushwolf, cherry and walnut, two of my favorite woods. I hope you have my address right  

i just received a long package in the mail. it was on my work bench while i was in the backyard with my dog. i feel like i don't deserve to be the first recipient of a bow in the swap. i haven't produced my work or pics of a bow yet.  im overwhelmed. rv

Isnt life grand Ruddy?

So when do we get to see some pics of this bow????

Riser block glued up and one takedown recurve limb in the oven. Let's hope I'm not biting of more than I can chew. Sure think *#%€* is going to like it!

I finally made time to work on a (possible) trade bow. I'm working on more than one just in case. I cut the riser out of a nice piece of walnut and the grain looked best with a straight limb design. I tapered a walnut core from 3/8" to 1/16" at the tips and I tapered and planed a piece of bamboo down to 1/8" for the back. I'm using 1/8" bamboo for the belly as well. I'm wondering if I should use a power lam above the riser. Any opinions on this would be appreciated.    
One cool thing - I tempered the bamboo back and the propeller twist it had is all but gone. I was worried that it might twist the bow.

BrushWolf - That's gonna look great!
