It almost looks like you could lick the belly and taste coffee, Irish cream prehaps?  :)
Nice bow.

Keep coming back to look at this one.  What did you use to finish her off and get that grain popping?
No stain. Just 6 coats of spar urethane with steel wool in between.

Real cool.  You just can't beat the grain and color of the wood.

That grain sure does pop!  Nice work on the bow, looks like it didn't take a lot of set, either!  Speaks volumes about the maker's patience!

Beautiful bow, Kentucky Coffee Tree is very beautiful wood and a joy to work it also smells great when heated.

I have one more KCT stave left , when I get OJAM out of the way and the sapwood removed from the  osage I cut this year and put up I'm going to go to work on it .
This last stave has a lot of pin knots on it , I may ignore the knots and chase the back down to one or two sapwood rings and back it with spoonbill or flathead skins . As tough as those spoonbill skins were maybe the knots won't be a problem and it will make tillering easier this time . My last one had a couple of pretty good bumps on the back of one limb and had a little crown to it , I'm happy with it and so is the new owner .
