Looks like a snotty mess right now. Can't wait to see how she turns out.

Todd that looks good.
A few years ago I bought some wenge 1x8x96", cost me $94. Hate to see what it cost now. I still got some chunks of it hiding under the dust in my shop.

Nice! Last bow I finished had a wenge riser and they look great once they are finished. Going to watch this one!

I too have a thing for wenge, even with the extra grain filling.Looking forward to the next photos.

Well, I got a little bit done this afternoon.

I cant decide which way to go with the limbs. Maybe walnut?

Maybe sassafras?

Wonder what ....... might like?

Trux Turning · January 21, 2014, 06:17:00 PM

Walnut back, sassafras belly? Both would look good.

timbermoose · January 21, 2014, 09:24:00 PM

double post, my bad.

KellyG · January 21, 2014, 10:42:00 PM

Looking good! Hmmmm I like both as far as looks but I have not seen any sassafras on here so that would be my vote.
