Well as some of you know, I just had a great trip to Niagra Falls, NY. Visist with family and pick up some stuff including my MojoStik from Whisperstik bows.....Well 4 days before I was to leave, JD called my work and had bad news
....my bow had delaminated at the fade. Apparently the ebony used was greener than we all thought!
JD felt horrible and couldn't apologize enough. Geez, I felt worse for him than for the bow. And we decided to work out a solution.
Well before I could ask "What do we do now" JD says not to worry, I'll build you a new bow right away...You pick your woods and I'll get started. THEN he says..."Ya know I got some nice burl here that would look awesome, how about that?" Well he sent me pics of the wood(Eucylyptus Burl)It was real pretty, and since I wanted this as my hunting bow, I opted to keep the Cocobolo riser and put the burl in the flare. I also opted for Gaboon ebony accent strips along the flare.
Together, we decided to change the Cocobolo limb veneers to Juniper heartwood.
The new bow still has bamboo cores.....Well, JD called again yesterday to say the bow is finished and should ship out today! It'll take a week or two to reach me.
