IZZY need pics of your Zipper

[overbo]

As the request says

[Izzy]

Hillbilly Deluxe is my last remaining zipper. It's a Bob Thompson creation. I'll post one up when I get off work. It's a bit different looking from any other one Ive ever seen. I killed a deer with it on its maiden voyage.

I had a guy years ago offer to trade me a Bob Thompson Zipper for a bow I had.  Foolishly I didn't take him up on it.  Look forward to seeing a picture of Hillbilly Deluxe.

[Izzy]

This is the best Ive got right now. The rest are longer distance. Its maple cocobolo and bocote with arrow inlay on back of limbs.

Thanks much Izzy,
I need to get this pic to Bill Dunn.Can you help?

[zipper bowss]

He sees it.   :D

So you are thinking the same lay up as Izzy's but with Osage where his is Cocobolo?

[overbo]

Nope!
Osage where the maple is so it blends into the osage limbs like how the maple in Izzy's bow blends into the maple limbs.

Got it, Stephen.
Now what are we going to do about this accent stripe phobia you have. Any interest in a support group?  :D

[overbo]

Bill I know your bows are fast but I don't like racing stripes.

Why not osage?If not clear glass

[zipper bowss]

Its up to you. We will do either.
With that much Curly maple in the handle it would be nice to add something for strength. Glass would sure get the job done.I think the Osage stripes would look better.With some type of accents we would get the "nugget" look that Izzy's bow has.

[overbo]

Well,
Lets throw some clear glass between the osage and maple at the hour glass gluelines and a strip of clear glass sandwiched between some osage in that lam. at the belly of the riser?

[zipper bowss]

Got it on the order form.

Thanks for the picture Izzy. It sure helped us sort this out.
