Just to get a rough idea of how it's gonna look when finished, I wet the wood down and laid the Leopardwood on top of the Morado.




Done the same with the Black Walnut when I first ripped the Walnut I was a little dissapointed but after grinding them down and wetting them a little they should look good under the glass. The glue really should make the dark lines really stand out



Well thats all I can do for probably the next week as it's going to take atleast 5 days for the glass,boo and hardware to get here after I order it on Monday.

Kent.

When I first seen the Morado it looked real good so I brought it.

I did not know it was gonna have all the beautiful swirls through the centeruntil I got the riser rough cut.

I am invisioning what it's gonna look like when I do the final shaping and cut out the sight window

It should look real sweet but thats gonna be roughly a week or more away, can't do anymore till I get the limbs made and tillered[8D]

It would ONLY be fair!!!!

I do know since I am sort of stuck getting camo that he is getting me PINK String!!! YEAH!!! A girl needs to be a girl even when she is kicking her boyfriends ass on the range! Oh I'll pay for that one!!!!!!

I'm going to tell you the same thing Rodney King said to the guy shooting the video of him getting his @ _ _ kicked... Put down the camera and help!

Put down that camera Russ, you'll get more work done.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why the loud mouth he told me not to say a word about the pink string[:@]

Just for that I'm gonna write "YOU SUCK" some where on the top limb just as a little reminder to him every time he draws the bow


Put down that camera Russ, you'll get more work done.
Bob.

It's more fun behind the camera[8D]

That was the ONLY way I agreed to the camo bow... I wanted pink string and pink arrows!!
I mean the poor guys is buying me a Matthews which is killing him already... so you think I would make it easy and simple for him?? NOT!!! I even told him he has to put a Matthew sticker on his truck right next to his Bowtech one!!! LOL
Ok.. so.. just a little hint..... come on.... I know he is planning something else....
Like maybe a diamond to go with my Matthews since I am not getting the Diamond Black Ice I wanted???? Huh????? If that is the case... I'll send you a few pics so you can guide him in the right direction... OK??? hehehe..
