Nice Osage roy
Can you get 2 bows out of that board?

This won’t be bows (maybe) as I’ve been commissioned to build something . There will be plenty left over so maybe I can buy what’s left...

Moved the portable bench outside ...

Some Granny Smith I had slabbed out a couple weeks ago.
Got five nice 4’ slabs about 2”x14” out of the log.

I asked the flintlock gun stockers from some of their fancy wood cutoffs for me to make tillering gizmos for the St Jude auction, I got 42# of wood in the mail.

Roy sent me some nice spalted wood, one guy sent me a small amount of exhibition grade walnut.

Does this count?

Appalachian Hillbilly · « **Reply #14 on:** December 28, 2021, 10:27:52 AM »

That myrtle is just WoW! Does it need to be stabilized?

garyschuler · « **Reply #15 on:** December 28, 2021, 10:35:57 AM »

Some yes and some no. Depends ion spalting and Burl figure. I have built lots of all Myrtle bows. I’ve never stabilized it myself but have had a few riser blocks stabilized.

That bottom piece of Cocobolo looks like a piece I got one time called Mexican cocobolo. It was orange with black a really unique piece. Had no trouble selling the bow I made with it.
Cocobolo is my go to for risers. Just love it but haven't purchased in a good many years. Still have a piece I'm saving to build another personal bow once I decide what I want since I may never buy another block of it again

Wish I could work with those two.

Roy be careful what wood you show here

Mike L. · « **Reply #19 on:** January 15, 2022, 04:57:26 PM »

That myrtle is some of the coolest I’ve seen. I just bought a small slab if it that looks like it’s got some character. App hillbilly, is that the rosewood in the second picture?
