The second pic is the limbs on the bow in the first pic. Found that spalted maple in a cut and split log in my father in laws burn pile. Both bows still need a finish.
The last pic is just a glamor shot of a bow i finished some time ago.

Your image links don't seem to be working.

Thanks....fixed it. the order may be a little messed up now lol.

Beautiful bows.

Nice work.

Worth the link fixes!

nice job

Great looking bows.

nice work!

How did you do those long splices for the veneers?  They look awesome.

I just kinda clamp them along a straight edge at the center of the splice, then put a long clamp along the length. You dont need a lot of pressure. Never had them come apart.

Beautiful work Sir!

How do you cut/pattern them to begin with?

All i did was make a hard board pattern the same width as the lams...1.5" with the "s" shape cut into it, then traced that to each of the woods i used, cut them out, and sanded carfuly until they matched. I put two thin lams between them at glue up.

Beautiful work!
