Hi all,

Super pumped - just paid my Big Jim Thunderchild deposit and can't wait till next year but before Jim calls I want to have some wood choices picked out. Can yall post your Big Jim bow pictures and identify your wood selection to help me out?!

For my first Thunderchild I sent Jim wood from my property here in Riley IN. Plum, black oak and mulberry. Also sent was mahogany from my uncle and teak from my brother. There are plenty of prettier bows around, none could possibly have more meaning to me. Just a sentimental old fart I guess...

Big Jim has wonderful woods.
Anything you will choose will be outstanding!

How do I know? I have some of the Gentle Giant bows.
