Title: Made a Boo backed Osage Tri-lam
Post by: wytetale on November 05, 2007, 07:43:10 pm

Made a tri-lam with the Jatoba that I had left, used it as a core and then put some Osage laminations on the belly and a Bamboo backing. the riser is Kingwood and Maple. The bow realy shoots nice and quick.

Wytetale,
Man, you make some beautiful bows. The 2 you entered in BOM for Oct were stunning. Love the jatoba. I've used it some, as well. I've had good luck with hickory backed jatoba.
Your tiller is spot on... nice even bend, with stiff tips. Specs? Is she a R/D? By the look of the brace profile, I'd say she is. Nice work.

Some serious woodcraft here not to mention bowry.  Very nice and a serious contender for  Nov backed (laminant) bow of the month. Providing those Germans don't enter any ;D :P
