I really like the Tigerwood, that will make some nice looking limbs, almost a bit to light but I think I could live with it![8D]

I can't wait to see some pic of the limbs when finished!

Joe.

I am in the middle of making another form

The glass, Boo and locking hardware are on the way and should be here by the end of the week

So hopefully I will have a set of limbs made next week end[8D]

Now I just have to work out what I want for the riser wood I am leaning towards either Redheart or Zebrawood or maybe some other wood I have in the shop

Mark.

For limbs yes, risers no.

I have been eyeing some Lacewood very simular to Leopardwood might get some of that and see what happens.

Oh and for you Bocote guys I have not found any I like yet but am still looking

Hi Kanga, looking forward to the next build.

As for the limbs, my likes are walnut/bamboo/bacote/maple/etc,.

It's no big secret that I am a real sucker for "Good" Coco Bolo for risers, dense and heavy. However, it is lousy for limbs, just to darn heavy witch effects everything that is good in making limbs.
