Fine job Rick. I love them Knightd Bows.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

  Sweet looking bow, Rick. I just got another one from David I'm anxious to start. It's thicker so I can get a heavy weight out of it.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks for the compliments guys,  Anyone interested in a lam bow that doesn't have the time or equipment to do the glue up part, this is the way to go for sure.  It is a nice change of pace for those like me that mostly make self bows.

You did good on that Rick. Interesting to see how everyone tillers the same blank diferantly. I like the way you tillered this one by the way.

Very nice looking bow.  What kind of stain did you use on the bamboo?

I used Feibing's  Leather Dye.  I'm pretty sure the color was Cordovan.
