A while back my youngest daughter asked me to build her a pretty bow for going to 3D shoots. She said she had an ugly bow (an old bow I've had since I was a teenager) and was tired of having the ugliest bow at all the events. Well I was rather embarrassed that I hadn't ever built a bow for her so I said I would. Her only request was that it had to have black and orange in it. Her 2 favorite colors. So here's what I decided on.
Some stabilized buckeye Burl with orange dye and black and orange accents, with spring buck overlays.

I also have some buckeye Burl veneers with orange dye on their way from Big Jim too!!

What y'all think?

Ps.... no I did not put her ahead of anyone. Slipping this one in between glue ups! 

Pretty wild Randy.

Some bows are smokin, but that's gonna look like it's on fire

Nice Randy.  And don't sweat fitting her in.  She's worth it. Those young ones deserve that in our lives.

Great balls of fire! That looks like a tanker exploded in your face, wild indeed!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but I bet she won't have the ugliest bow at the shoot once she gets that bow!

Looks like molten lava. Really cool!

Wow, that's gonna be a beauty!

Gonna be a beauty, Randy.

That has to be the sharpest looking burl I have seen. Can't wait to see the final result. 

That's cool!!!!!

That is going to make a smashing looking bow! Also building a bow for your little lady isn't sneaking in the line it's showing her how important she is to you which is way more important in my opinion if I was waiting for something.

  Holy Smokes!!! That is one of the coolest looking things I've ever seen! Can't wait to see the finished bow! Way to go all-out for one of the most important people in your life! Outstanding!

Looks like lava! What a neat bow - its great!

Need more pics.....this thread is useless without pics

Randy,

Might be a bit much to ask, but I for one would love to see this bow come together 😁

Will you be making this a build along🙏

I will do my best to post pics and updates as it comes together. It will go kinda slow though as I'll be working on it between orders. I'm gonna try to have it done by May 1st though.

I can't wait to see the finished product. That is going to be a looker, for sure!!

Randy that is gonna be an eye grabber for sure.

I got a few hours yesterday to work on this bow after I got a bow and a set of limbs in the oven. I was able to get the accent lines installed.
