Very nice Bocote, who is the bowyer of this model. Is it a Recurve, or a Longbow. It looks like a mild recurve. And what is the bows length very nice looking bow and I bet it shoots good also.

Bigfoot sasquatch "longbow" It's a 60" It does string up with the string touching the limbs a bit though like a recurve. It did shoot nice. Ended up a little short and too much weight for me..sold it here in the classys.
That one of your's with the dark bocote that went to ohio looks great Chad. I really like the looks of dark bocote.
That one you made really has the right look. I was lucky enough to shoot one of your pass around bows.
You make a very fine shooting bow Sir. I bet the owner of that bow you built smiles every time he touches it..

Hey John, You forgot to tell the guys that this Bocote on the Sas above has an Amber tint to the sealer that darkens it up a bit.....
It was great chatting with you on the phone the other day Chad. I'll look forward to some more communication in the future and swap some more adventures.
You sound like a man with a passion for the trade. looking forward to seeing more of your bows in the future.... Good stuff bro!

Thanks Kirk and Zradix for the compliments. This is a 54" N.A.T I built for a customer is Ny It Charcoal actionwood and Bocote limbs and overlays.

Kirk, Chad and I are talking about another Life Ender. He built me a beautiful Judge that is smooth as silk, but that Life Ender just has a bit more "snap" to it. I've owned quite a few of Chad's bows and he does nice work, but I REALLY like that tinted sealer you put on the bocotte. Gives it such a warm glow. Next time you're talking to Chad try to get him interested in that idea

Those are beautiful. I'm a sucker for Bacote. I like it even more a year after the bow has been built and it has had time to darken up a bit.

I only have a splash of bocote in my riser, but I do love it!
(Yes, my bocote fang does bear a striking resemblance to the piece missing from that riser in John's pic above)
I wish I had some of that curvy stuff for my knife handle!!! Thom
