longbow',
I know your new to you Mentor will be arriving soon, my new one came yesterday! I feel spoiled lucking out and grabbing a stock bow that was just like what I would order! Man what a sweet bow!
She is a real beauty, the Bocote riser in person and normal to dim light is actually really dark, with a lot of crazy figure, it's awesome! It almost looks like Rosewood, but then when the sun hits it it looks like in the first picture I posted. Wes must have some crazy fluorescent lights in his shop. The veneers on this one have some of the prettiest Bocote I've ever seen, with some neat orangey brown swirls mixed with the more yellow brown. Build construction as I noted on my last Mentor is 'bomb proof' yet elegant. Nothing fragile about a Mentor, and yet it is graceful. The elm cores on this one seem to be excellent, she's a screamer and real quiet with the stock D97. I already ordered a new Fury string from Allen for her to dress her up. There is something about these bows, I mean the grip shape just melts into the hand, but there's something more. I dunno if it has to do with the direct lineage to Brack' or how the bows have that unmistakable shape to them. I've owned two Blacktails, and while I really really enjoyed them and they are gorgeous, something has drawn me back to Wes' bows, as I sold both Blacktails after I had the first Wallace and knew I had to have another Wallace and so here I am.
Check out this killer!
