2016 Bow Swap

[Horn Chaser]

Here is a look at my trade bow I just finished. Hope my victim likes it. Southern red cedar veneers, zebra wood riser with Macassar ebony ibeam. I plan to ship this one out next week. I have family coming in for a wedding this weekend and plan to show it off before sending it out.

Talkingcabbage, I have used  Zinsser "bullseye" dewaxed shellac in the spray can from Lowe's over cocobolo and Rosewoods then Spar urethane on top.. But now I spray Krystal Dull or Gloss over oily woods, so far no problems, finish is dry in 30 minutes..but best to give it an hour before touching it.

Finished shaping the riser and did my first sanding to remove tool marks. Final sanding tonight. Then into the spray booth!.

Nice curve!  Hope it's Iowa bound!  

I just got a shipping notice on the Krystal from Big Jim so hopefully the bow should be finished by the weekend and I'll ship it beginning of next week.  Ready to get her done and out to her new owner.

[Krasus]

Came out not too bad I think. I'll put up better pics before I ship it

The bows look great guys.

Shot the bow 200 times over last 2 days. Sanding it down today to start putting finish on and found this.  Bloodwwod on Osage makes things stand out when you start sanding.  My bow will not be ready to ship by June 30.     , ,  I will not be able to get another bow made till August due to a wedding in July. Let me know what you want me to do Kelly.

That sucks. It's hard to see that after you put so much work into a bow.
If it was for me, I could wait. I'm in no rush.
Dave.

That will be up to Kelly and my recipient.
