Yeah they seem to be lacking a little on figure NOT. Wow, those are sweet got to love that bocote, really nice. Good thing I am not in your shoes, I would never sell anything just horde it all for myself.
Do you have any that isn't so plain? LOL
Great looking stuff Kenny. Can I have some? :)

Wavy-gravy mannnn! haha
WOW!!! I sure hope those are the ones I orderd.
Please be enroute to Florida.
Reminds me of the old days going to Dead shows.
Kenny I'll take a couple of pairs.
God bless you, Steve Oh I need a matching riser block.
Bocote....yaaaa.
Those are sweet. Kenny sold me some last year that are full of bocote eyes
Those are some fantastic looking wood, man should make for a great looking bow.
I bet I could have spent hours staring at those in my younger days. Now they will make a very cool bow.
Wow! That is some really cool looking stuff. I might have to learn how to build with lams.
I've been working with wood for years but mostly furniture stuff like oak, cherry, walnut, pine, some hickory and a little birch. I don't know that I ever heard of bocote until I started looking into building a bow.
Thats about as good as it gets Kenny...its going to make a nice bow!
Groovy man! Most dangerous thing since lighted nocks for us old hippies.
WOW!.................... Now THAT will be a nice bow!
How cool will the bows made from the be? Wow
Lets try this again. First day with the new fingers. Sorry. How cool will the bows made from that wood be. Wow
Sorry guys, that pc is gone... :(
Shawn, I wish those could have been yours, you were one order late..... :goldtooth:
I have more bocote coming, won't promise all to look like that.
Sometimes a 2x2 only yields one bows worth after the creative cutting to get the flattest grain is done... :p
Wow that is really somthing
Those are beautiful Kenny! What kind of bandsaw setup are you running anyway?
COOOOOOL
My saw is a griz 555x I think, the one with the worklight and cast iron wheels anyway if that isn't the number! LOL
I run a lennox diemaster 2 4tpi
I have GOT to get a bigger band saw..... :) What width blade do you use for the resawing? I haven't had good luck with my 3/8". I'm guessing it will take 1/2" or bigger to do a decent job without creating a bunch of waste.
1/2" wide, and if it don't cut strait,
RETUNE !LOL
I cut my lams .035 over what I want for finished product. So she has to be tuned dead nuts! :)
do you have any that are a little busier looking??
WOW! You wouldn't need a camo dip with those veneers.
