What ya think of these apples



Close up of them.

Cocobolo



Yellow heart.



Bubinga.



Leopardwood.



Zebrawood.



Purpleheart.



I should be able to make some real nice risers out of this stuff

PAHardwwods.

Chad.

I was thinking splitting to Cocobolo down the center lenght wise and putting in a strip of Yellow Heart (vertically) for your riser and then cutting that and putting in a strip of Purpleheart (horizontal) for an accent strip, it should look real sweet with Black Walnut limbs

Russ I think that may be a winner. I like that idea. Or maybe as you look at the back of the bow from left to right it could be like this. Cocobolo, Yellowheart, purpleheart, Cocobolo with black walnut limbs. Just a thought.

Yeah that will work too

I gotta get me a planer, might pick one up after work ( hahahahahahaha) tomorrow.

Looks good. Have you ever worked with purple heart? Its some hard stuff. I have dulled many a bandsaw blade cutting it. I love the contrast you can get with it.

Not as yet but hey bandsaw blades are cheap

My blade is a 6 tooth per inch, it's slow but gets the job done
