Seeing bows like this makes me really appreciate the revival of bow making !!! That is an awesome bow, and one anyone making bows today would be proud to make - Great Work !!! Where does one find Jatoba in dimensions that are bow worthy??

Thanks barebo,  This was a board bow and I found the jatoba board at a local cabinet grade hardwoods shop.  I got a 6'6" - 1x8 for about $30 and got enough pieces to make three bows with.  One piece has a pretty good sized knot in one end though so I may attempt a short kids bow with it to get past the knot.

You nailed the tiller on this one. Got your well-crafted weapon bookmarked as #1 for Dec Laminates for BOM. Thanks!
