The top is Ed's personal bow: leopard wood ibeam with bubinga slabs, osage back and a chocolate brown belly  :)

The bottom is another gorgeous bird's eye maple ibeam with wenge slabs, zebrawood back and belly.  Gorgeous[/b] in person!

I just got a new calfskin hide in as I was starting to run out, and a better designed skivving knife to speed things up.

The bow I want to see Ed make (aside from a bow with his last piece of orange glass) is an osage bellied Kodiak replica after it's aged a bit.  Not quite the same color, but that dark honey osage gets is nice and if he used some "dirty osage" it'd have some real character!

Fellas, I can proudly say that the bottom bow was made for me and it arrived in today's mail.   It is gorgeous, too.    60" and 44# at 28".

I have another of Ed's bows that I bought a few months ago on Tradgang and I love them.    If you don't know Ed you should get to know him.    He's a gentleman and a hell of a craftsman.

Those are are some great looking bows. I really like the woods in those.  Landman, I'd have to say your wood choices were perfect.
