My Binghams order arrived, more building materials.

Pretty excited.



Padauk riser block, should I use the phenolic accent  strip I bought or the zebra wood packing material that came on the actionboo? Decisions.

Break it all out, let's see

Nice.  What are you going to build recurve or longbow?  Binghams are top notch.

This is the phenolic and what I believe is     zebra bocote side by side.
   

Here is the edge grain of the zebra bocote still protecting my actionboo tapers.

   

I'm thinking zebra bocote accent strip with phenolic before and after with zebra overlay on the handle and tips. Oh yeah black glass for the limbs.

Should be nice. I think what you beleive is Zebrano actually is Bocote.    

X-2 bacote

Thanks for that I'm not very familiar with either species. It's expensive stuff.

Here she is so far, can't wait to see how it looks with finish on it.

That's a good start!

Another pic to look at, riser done!

 

Waiting for a bow to cook is worse than watching paint dry.

More progress.

Looking good!

Nice looking profile, what length are you shooting for, looks like 58-60"?

Thanks, it is 58" ntn, target is 65#.

Bow #2 finished.

65# @28"

Nice work.  

Now that is what I am talking about.  Nice job.

Nice job.  Looks great

Good Work!!
