Nice, Kenny...

Looks to be about 32 pounds:)

Like that riser Kenny! It's going to pop when finished.

That looks really nice Kenny and it helped me out. I have about 4 risers worth of Cherry with some nice wavy character. I just have not been able to figure out what veneers would go with it. It's similar in color to what you have there so I'll bet either spalted maple or that Tamo Ash would do well.

And just to make sure I met the pink requirements

Crooked Stic · March 31, 2019, 03:02:16 PM

You and me both.

Ordered glass from Kenny and started the riser glueup this weekend. Getting there. Hope my victim thinks yew, Osage, and pink go well together.

Roy, you KNOW that camera is in your sock drawer!

canopyboy · April 01, 2019, 12:57:51 PM

Yeah, but what about the batteries? They may be somewhere else.

canopyboy · April 01, 2019, 01:20:19 PM

BTW, I don't know why some of you like that yella wood so much. It makes the shop seem so much messier. The picture doesn't do it justice, but one little piece of osage and my whole shop is smack you in the face yellow...

goobersan · April 01, 2019, 01:22:47 PM

Can't see glass dust

Flem · April 01, 2019, 03:15:39 PM

Egads! Hope your lungs ain't yellow

. Did you build that edge sander? Looks nice.

I'm going on round two. Actually have real Walnut this time around. Did learn that Butternut will make a good kids Bow

Going to have to decide on a riser

Still need to layup some glass. Hopefully tomorrow. Need to get this thing done.

TradBowyer · April 01, 2019, 04:01:07 PM

Flem · April 01, 2019, 04:32:39 PM

1 vote for Ash.
I've only seen Mountain and Oregon Ash. I guessing yours is something else?

Roy from Pa · April 01, 2019, 04:45:15 PM
