While Dave's bow is hanging in the shop with yet another coat of finish drying.

I decided to go ahead and start the Surprise Bow

The person I am building this bow for has absolutely no idea he is going the the recipient of a Kanga Custom "Yarra"

The riser is going to be Ash and Tiger Stripe Pecan.



As you can see I have the 2 pieces of wood spot glued together, the riser shape marked and the xed out portion is going to be the Pecan.

The limbs will be Tiger Strip Pecan edge grain for the back and Ash for the belly.



The limb butt overlays are going to be Tiger Stripe Pecan with the stripe running across the limb.



Once the spot glue has dried on the riser section I have to change out the bandsaw blade from the 3/4" blade to a 1/4" blade to cut the curve.

More to come
