Mad Max that is look'n great!

I'm hoping after shaping the curly maple will show itself off.
I may even use some stain.

Yeah Maxie... Looking good....

I am making great progress... I sanded the ramps and fades today... Spent the rest of the day cleaning the fins on a AC unit...

Mark and Kyle looking good.

Stain makes curly pop.

Shreddy boy didn't happen wifout pichers...

I'm liking how that's looking Mark!
It's another blacklocust stave. This one is much cleaner, and rings every time I would chop at it with the hatchet, so it should be good and stiff.

Received some riser material yesterday. Thinking I would like to do a simple two species I-beam riser with a couple of these. Thoughts?

Zircote and zebra would be my pick.

EvilDogBeast · March 04, 2021, 12:52:39 PM

Sorry, I should have labeled those. In the second picture from left to right: Grenadillo, Bocote, Padauk, Zebra, and Bubinga. The Bocote would still pair nicely with the Zebra though.

Mad Max · March 04, 2021, 12:58:55 PM

Nice

any combo with contrasting colors

Mad Max · March 04, 2021, 01:01:52 PM

Hold that Bocote on the belt sander and see if it will lighten up.

Looked darker in the pic. That will look good with zebra too.

Not much help, am I? 🤔

Bocote and zebra is always a winner

Got a sealer coat on my victims bow and my finish showed up today so I should be able to finish it up this weekend. Shot it a little and it still seems slow. I'll see what it's new owner gives me for feed back.

Shredd · March 04, 2021, 08:35:00 PM

Looks good 4Point...

Roy from Pa · March 04, 2021, 08:51:24 PM

When you say slow, what are you comparing too?

Comparing it to my recurves it seems like a dog.
