Strip laminated bamboo with gold epoxy

My second strip laminated bamboom. Left over bamboo flooring was curved into a hook shape and finished with reclaimed Purpleheart wing tips. This heavy wood helps maintain rotation and produces an incredibly long and accurate flight. The tips are decorated with brass filled with yellow jasper mineral inlay and gold epoxy. I enjoy this decoration style so definitely more to come!
