Title: First in a while
Post by: R. W. Mackey on July 12, 2016, 10:01:00 PM

First Bow I've had time to build since our move last fall. I haven't done many but this'll is my best by far. A long way to go but I make progress each time.
  The riser woods are Osage and Walnut from Mike Pyatt. This is the most figured piece of Osage I've seen in quite some time.  Veneers are from Troy Breeding, very nice as always, really like the solid Osage, very nice grain. As always the pics don't do them any justice.
  I built it for my good friend back home, he's coming to visit tomorrow, it's a surprise. Hope he likes it as much as I.

Thanks for the look.

RW Mackey
