Marvelous. Bue--.

Drop dead gorgeous!

I agree, that is the most tasteful use of pierce points that I have seen. How are they done?

[BCWV]

Very nice!

[bigbob2]

truly a beautiful bow! Lovely lines and workmanship. Love the piece points too!

Very nice, something about the simplistic profile of a mild deflex reflex longbow that catches ones eye.

Pierce points look great too.

Beachbowhunter, if you do a search on here for pierce points buildalong you will find an old post of a 68" recurve.  This was a long ago build and the first time I did the points..You will see a few shot of how the riser was assembled and that will show you how it is done.  

To describe it in words, use a finger joint router bit to join two pieces of laminated riser wood length ways.  Join the pieces with smooth on, and then when you cut into the riser you will expose the inner fingers.  If you use alternating colors of wood on the laminated riser pieces prior to routing, the fingers will be highlighted and clearly seen.

Well done Brad!

Sweet! A lot of details there. Nice looking bow Brad!

Here I am admiring your bow again and just noticed how you hid the pierce points on the belly side of the riser. I really like that. Have never been crazy about how they looked there. Love this bow!

Gorgeous and dare I say sexy!

Great job Brad, I'm really liking that wood combo!  And for the points, they are awesome!

Brad it was good to talk to you the other day Bud.  Man I'm glad your back on here and set up at the new place.  Your bows have always been simply stunning.  

Another piece of eye candy
