Thanks guys.  I love Silvertips, and I really love Paul’s originals and always stay on the hunt for them, but they are very hard to find.  Guy, I received an email from Beth yesterday that said Dave was finishing up my newest build and it should ship early next week.  Can’t wait!

Hey Cacciatore,

Wow... you have a Silvertips... Do you have a favourite...? What timbers are they made from...?

Regards Guy

My main wood is Gabon Ebony because it is a high mass wood very nice and dense I think the black match’s with all the other timbers. I simply don’t like 2 different, otherwise great looking woods,matched together with great personality but of different color like the combination Bocote and Cocobolo. They are great looking woods by themselves but simply they don’t match well to me IMHO. When they are enhanced when used with the black Gabon. So this Particular bow has a combination of Black and White Ebony and Gabon.

Cacciatore,

I do to love Gabon Ebony... I’ll have to get it included in my next bow... it’s a great contrast between any other lighter coloured timbers...

Very nice bow David, I’d say it looks similar to the Silvertip I’m getting... :goldtooth:

Also Macassar is a great and strong wood, is another one of my fav. 
Title: Re: Please show us your Schafer Silvertips
Post by: Guy Layton on August 27, 2018, 05:11:07 AM
Yes Macassar have been my favourite timber for years now and is in lots of my bows... I’ve just placed an order for a recurve with Gabon and Bacote... :bigsmyl:

Killer combination, Bocote has a very nice character and contrast so it can matches only with a neutral wood, Black is perfect

Wow Joe! What are the woods on yours?

I own one and it's an original by Paul. I'll try and find some pics of it and post. I love Silvertips, may have to start saving my pennies for a new one...

That Cocobolo of Joes is the best looking wood on the planet.  I think I would have bows built of that every year if I could find that quality.  never get tired of looking at it.  Thanks for sharing Joe..

Here is my Silvertip

What veneers you have on your limbs?  I love it!
Title: Re: Please show us your Schafer Silvertips
Post by: joe vt on August 29, 2018, 05:18:53 AM
Thank you guys.....hard to believe someone let this go. I bought it used about 9 years ago.


As mentioned the riser is Cocobolo,and the limb veneers are Elm burl.  58" 50# @28"  Its built for non stretch string but I have a B50 endless string on it.
