Great build along, I like the weight to give the glue up reflex.

Which one? We have like half a dozen around here, me and my wife are cat herders you know, :).

Great build-a-long! I will probably refer to it when I finally get my hands on some Ipe. Closest place that stocks it is 2 hours away, so I have to come up with a really good excuse, lol. I love the dark/light wood contrasts.

No problem, thank you.

Man your getting good at these lam bows. Great glue lines, that's key as you well know.

Thank ya Pearl drums. True about them glue lines.

I enjoy taking photos, it gives me something to do, :).

Sweet bow, 2many. It looks like you definitely have the tri-lams down.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
