Don't have pics yet but got the call a few weeks ago that the build is starting. I chose a highly figured piece of desert ironwood with Maccassar ebony and rosewood striping. No white or red glass. The Limb veneers are amboyna burl.Both woods were custom ordered. I left the horn/antler selection for overlays and tips to Jim. He will decide which to use, based on what he feels will compliment the woods best.

Don't do this to me please.  I recently sold my 2 piece Black and White Ebony T-Child and I am in denial just now.  Pics will just make it worse for me.     :banghead:

Haven't had this bow for a while, but the wood had to be the most awesome I ever owned. Desert Ironwood....
