Working on some lam bows
« on: August 13, 2016, 10:29:24 am »
The one is a bamboo back, thin layer of maple, and an osage core from a 40 year old board, with the handle made up of hickory and walnut. The other is a bamboo back, a thin layer of maple, on osage core, and a carbonized bamboo belly, with a handle made up of maple, walnut, and osage.

Both are mid tiller at the moment.

Pretty looking bows. Do you use such a variety of woods in one bow for appearances or because of the property of the different woods adds to the performance and design?
