Default Project X Top Secret

While I wait for the lams to turn up for the take down.

I have been playing around with different riser designs.

What do you guys think of this riser.

Leopardwood with Yellowheart and Purpleheart accent strips.

I know the Purpleheart is not too pronounced now but it should show up well when it's finished.

Wow, you make you own bows? That is incredible. Is this normal? Do many others make their own bows? Im very new to all this and can not imagine makeing a bow, and it actually work. Im impressed. You must be a very skilled person.

I would like to see more of this. Is there any other posts on bow making here? Ive used the search thing and found answers to most of my questions, but bow making did not pull anything up.

Wow, agian. I looked at the links you posted and all I can say is Wow. Start with some boards and end up with a bow. That is incredible. I didnt know bamboo was used in bows. I guess ive got alot to learn.
