Kent.

HMMM what can I say about Santa he also forgot my address[:@]

The offer is still there if you need and lams ground.

I have a .002 per running inch sled now as well.

It should look real good.
Trust me mate it looks REAL good wait till I post the other pics I have of it under glass[8D]

If that tiger wood was a bit grayer, it would pass as goncalo alves.
I think that is another name for it

Your right there are a ton of great looking woods out there for making custom bows and the combinations of woods is almost countless.

Oh just to put you out of your misery hereit is.



Here is the tip end angled towards the sun.

Now I will be honest and say these pics do not do it any justice.



Don't ya think it has some great lines and I was lucky to be able to rip a matching pair

I'll post another pic a little later of a before and after laminating

Here is a couple of before and after pics.





Who woulda thunk there was that much of a difference.

The other lam is for the other limb which I will get done tomorrow

I did take a couple of pics of the limb on top of the Zebrawood riser but it is not a good pic it's getting a little dark in the shop.

I will take some more in the morning in the sun light

Joe.

I like Marblewood, but I can not find any I like maybe I am just a little too fussy

Is that and Antler overlay on the tip?

My biggest problem down here is there are no exotic hardwood suppliers[:@]
But I am lucky the guy I get all my wood from takes pictures of the wood and emails them too me but it's not the same as seeing the wood before buying.

But he does know I am a fussy Bass Turd when it comes to wood

Yep, thats antler overlay shaped in a shield cut, I really like it, kinda different and adds a little flare to the tips!!

Just a rough idea how how the Tigerwood/Red Elm limbs are going to look on the Zebrawood riser
