Did some clearcoat today.

B-JS, what is the wood? Looks kind of like locust.

[B-JS]

Right.
Black Locust.

[kennym]

Nice!! 

[Crooked Stic]

Locust is pretty solid.

[B-JS]

Pretty light, but Rocksolid.
And a bit of a diva when it comes to cutting/grinding/drilling.
Burns pretty fast If not processed very carefully.

[Mad Max]

B-JS looks like some nice shaping of the riser
More pictures of the riser please

[B-JS]

Need a Drill jig.
The Placement of the tillerbolts is not 100% perfekt.

[Mad Max]

Nice

[Buemaker]

Looking good

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

I always wanted to see what Black Locust looked like! I got a bunch of it and thought about locust and walnut  combo.

Thanks for posting!

[kennym]

BL and walnut will look good I think,  wonder if the locust darkens ?

[Crooked Stic]

I have had a piece of it for a few years maybe a bit darker.

I haven't posted, but have worked on a few things this year.  One bamboo backed osage and one bamboo backed hickory from spliced slats.  I have been playing/experimenting with powerlam thickness.  I wish I had better dust control so I could play with glass bows like you guys....but until I get a "real" shop space, it's all natural materials for me.  [attachment=1,msg2992609]

BBO with long 22" powerlam.  This is the best shooting bow I have made in 30 years.

Boo dyed with leather dye.  51#@27" and maintained all of its original reflex.
