That will be a sharp lookin' bow with the contrast between the cedar, walnut, and hickory, too.

Your right about that.....I just glued up a hickory backed osage with a walnut core tri lam last night  8) I like walnut for core wood...used it before in a boo backed yew tri lam...looks sharp,and has decent properties for a core.....it'll be light in the hand for sure using those woods ;)

That does sound purdy ;D... I know its kinda taboo with some( and this could be a whole seperate topic) but my hickory backer is mostly heartwood... I have seen several highly stressed bows with this set up, but i got to admit ima little apprehensive bout it, lol... Will see 8)... Brian
