Managed to do the replacement bow at weight. big relief! Here's couple shots, ots probably more 'standoutish' than the first.

another shot

Last one, new bow is top one.

Nice bigbob!

I will take it !!! Wow Bob that is awsome!!!!!!!!!          

             Thanks mate, but its sold anyway. First bow's not.

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.

Awesome wood choices. Very nice.

You build some amazing bows Bob, outstanding work!!

You're an artist bigbob. Those are some nice looking bows.      
I love the look of those timbers.

Just as sweet as the first!!      

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
