???? for the experts
« on: November 07, 2008, 11:19:00 PM »
How common were  Rosewood I-Beams on 59 Kodiaks.  I know maple is pretty rare, Purple Heart pretty common.  

The serial number starts with BE and it's a later model with glass in the string grooves.


Just wondering, Trap

After closer inspection, I think it may be Purpleheart afterall.  What do you think?

Ye, it just came off the auction site.  A couple of very light stress lines on the back of the upper limb.  Shoots fine and cleaned up pretty good.

sweet bow, they are shooters once you replace the limbtip overlays. Nice feather rest too.    :thumbsup:
