Title: Bamboo backed Jatoba and Osage
Post by: wytetale on October 29, 2008, 07:54:21 am

Here are a couple of pics of a Tri-Lam I made. Core is Jatoba and the belly is Argantine Osage. The riser and power strip are Pau Fero. The bow is 62" and draws 55#@28" Off the form the tips came up 2" above the handle. When I was done tillering they still came up an 1 1/2" It is a real shooter

 Incredible, Very nicely done. Excellent profile, glue lines are perfect and everything flows beautifully. The tiller is perfect, spot on.  Want to trade something???   Keenan
