Title: Latest build with green glass
Post by: Mark Smeltzer on September 10, 2018, 07:16:17 PM

Decided to do a little throwback bow. I love green glass
60" 60 # @ 28" , East Indian Rosewood, Cocobolo and Red Elm.

East Indian Rosewood has a green hue to it, they go well together.

Nicely done!
I love green glass too and I'm starting to like colored glass more than clear these days.  Just something simple and classy about it and you nailed that one!

Green is my favorite color.  I like the lines of that bow, very clean and well executed.  Outstanding!
