Well, Ive been on the knife making kick for a while and I haven't made a bow in almost a year so I thought I should start putting a little saw dust in the shop instead of sparks.
 
 I had a really nice piece of osage given to me by Brad and a bunch of small pieces of bocote that I had left over from other bows so I decided to try to put everything together for a couple of 54'rs.
 

 I had enough osage to make one set of lams and I decided to use black glass on the other.  
  Both would have a bamboo core.
 
  A little glue, a little shaping, and a ton of sanding..... two bows were born.  I was having so much fun finish sanding that I decided to finish a bocote and black glass bow that I made a while back that came in at 76 lbs... I just thought hey, you never know when Roy might stop by and want to shoot a glass bow...

   
 
 
 
 

Awesome

I just realized I don't have any photos of these sweet osage lams... Ill try to get them tomorrow?

Wow those are some good looking bows!!

Those are some sweet looking bows!

Good stuff  
I love bocote.

All the above and then some!

Great looking bows!

Bocote and osage look great together!! Excellent job Thad!

That is cool the way you executed the build.. I have seen literally hundreds if not thousands of bows in the last 4 years those are awesome.  

Thanks for the kind words guys, these were a fun project for me!
I am really pleased with these risers, Its always nice to find different ways to put them together utilizing smaller pieces of wood you can't throw out..  
The osage lams also came from Bjansen and I couldn't be happier with how they look under the clear glass.(Thanks Brad)
I took a few photos of them tonight...

Looking very nice. Bue--.

Nice work Thad!

Wow Thad, Great work.

Your skills as a bowyer, Knife maker and Father never cease to amaze me.
