Awesome, how the hell do you do stuff like that?
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

looking good Ken I like the shape so far.. will be interesting to see it take shape.  I think Scott has an idea with the holes. makes me think of Rich's bow with the holrs in the tips.

im excited about this one . one more day of work ..weekend with the kids and then monday its on

there was a question about the glue lines . on this one and the horse bow i glue a lam on to the riser or sihays in this case and then sand the transition before gluing the next lam on
