Here is an early peek on my latest bow project!  This is one of my mild R/D longbows.  It has a zebra and walnut riser, boo core, and figured bubinga limb faces.  I'm thinking buffalo horn tip overlays!  The zebra and walnut will darken quite a bit when finished.  I'm gonna really like this color combo.  She will be 50@29.





I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetables!

Check out the overlays!  They are buffalo horn, and are gonna be really sweet when finished.

I've been working on the tiller as well.  I used some power lams in this one to change the tiller.  I think it's gonna work out really well.

Here she is after timing the limbs properly, rounding the limb edges, and trapping the belly.  I'm right where I want to be with weight.  Charlie wants 50@29, and I am right at 52@29 before final sanding.  This photo is drawn to 29".
