Lets see your Thunder Child

[Flatshooter]

Sold most of my bows and decided to order a new Thunder Child. Had one a few years ago and always regretted selling it. Right now I'm thinking about wood combinations. Lets see what you've got. Giving a lot of thought right now to some combination of Koa or desert ironwood with gaboon ebony in the riser.

I had a TC with desert Ironwood; prettiest bow I ever owned. You almost forget to pick a spot because you are looking at the figure in the wood.
   
My bank account hopes that nobody makes a Hill style in ironwood; it is a stunning bow wood.

Walnut in the riser and tiger Myrtle veneers, sheep horn overlays.

Any Koa riser Thunderchilds out there??

Wow, Jim is the best at matching woods, stripes and accents.

That bow that centaur had is quite a looker. Big Jim is a real "bowmeister" for sure. I have never seen one of his bows that was anything less than stunning in looks.

This is the plum back. I had Jim use woods from my property and some that had been in the family a while.

I will try to get pictures of mine up in a little bit.  What I will say is that Jim stands behind his product and is an awesome guy to deal with.  I have tried alot of shorter r/d bows, and the only one that I have kept is a thunderchild.  I hope you love the bow that you get as much as I think that you will.

An extraordinarily gifted artisan.

I have been honored to have been a friend of Big Jim for many years. Our friendship was never predicated on my owning and shooting one of his both marvelous and coveted creations. In fact, I have never owned one. I am currently climbing the mountain toward reaching that castle in the sky.
