Default I think I am

Going to be able to make some outstanding looking bows with the wood that just arrived and I have more on the way.

I am going to be making all my own limb lams well except for the glass and action bamboo.

Here is what just arrived

Yellowheart.



Ovanko/Shedua



Leopardwood.



Canarywood



Redwood Massaranduba

Nice wood.

After I finish up a two piece take down im working on, and the osage bamboo bow im working on, im going to get back to the lam bows. I harvested a bunch of osage, mesquite, hackberry, and elm. When they cure, im going to cut them into slats and make lamsout ofthem and start a line of all Texas wood bows.

Oh yeah it's gotta be one of the best looking woods I have come across.

Have you done things like this before or are you doing like me and carvin and learnin as you go? You seem rather experienced at it.
Been working with wood for a long time it has to be a couple of centuries nowjust utilizing what I know about wood working with bow making

I have not read one book on bow making and only watched 1 very short video that was not all that informative, so I just jumped in the deep end with the old proven trial and error method

Yes I have had my errors and it's been a trial[8D]

start a line of all Texas wood bows.
Will they have the Texas attitude?

But it sounds like they should turn out real good, well with you making themI know they will turn out great bows
