Title: Tried Mosaics on a new longbow form-Decided to donate to St. Judes
Post by: heartlandbowyer on April 27, 2013, 11:35:00 PM
First try at doing the mosaic accent on this new riser and bow form. I think I like this riser shape and limb profile. The mosaics didnt turn out to bad either.   (http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o641/cengert74/100_2539_zps3180ee57.jpg) (http://s1336.photobucket.com/user/cengert74/media/100_2539_zps3180ee57.jpg.html)    (http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o641/cengert74/100_2542_zps70c6d8ff.jpg) (http://s1336.photobucket.com/user/cengert74/media/100_2542_zps70c6d8ff.jpg.html)    (http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o641/cengert74/100_2545_zpsf23d39ca.jpg) (http://s1336.photobucket.com/user/cengert74/media/100_2545_zpsf23d39ca.jpg.html)    (http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o641/cengert74/100_2538_zps2267da0b.jpg) (http://s1336.photobucket.com/user/cengert74/media/100_2538_zps2267da0b.jpg.html)    (http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o641/cengert74/100_2533_zps681c1e98.jpg) (http://s1336.photobucket.com/user/cengert74/media/100_2533_zps681c1e98.jpg.html)

Thanks guy, I think I may open up the small radius just a tiny bit, it was a bugger trying to get the mosaic to bend without snapping.

Very cool! I like the mosaic alot!

Is that maple in the riser? Or actionwood. I can't tell. I'm getting old I think. Looks very good either way.

Ben the light wood in the riser is Birch, I had a nice grained piece lying around so I used it with some of my scrap walnut pieces. Used Birdseye maple for the overlays for a good contrast. Gonna add some finished pics tonight.

Ahhh very nice. I thought it might be birch after posting and looking at it more. I really like the color and grain. I may try that soon. I imagine birch is very reasonably priced as well. Thansk for th equick reply.
