New Javaman Falcon in the works! Pictures being added

[Big Ed]

I got the call a couple weeks ago from Gregg Coffee from Javaman Archery stating my number had come up. To say I was excited would be an understatement.
 Now I had to make choices and very difficult choices. What length, what poundage, what wood to be chosen for the build. Would I opt for a T/D? So many choices and so much fun.
 Gregg as always was a joy to work with and has begun the task of building my master piece.
 In true custom fashion Gregg offered to send me pictures of the build along. Which I think is awesome! I could not wait for the pictures to begin.
Sorry guys I'll start the build along pictures tomorrow, time for some beauty sleep lord knows I need it.

Congrats!! I'll be following along. I just bought a used Elkheart. (Haven't got it yet.) if I like it I may be getting on Gregg's list.

Sweet.  I am on the list, but pretty far out.  Gonna be rough.

Nice Ed! Is that the one that's sort of like the Elkhart,but longer?

I'm sure it will be a winner Ed!!

Now about that beauty sleep....  

[Big Ed]

Gregg pretty had endless choices in wood options. We agreed that the limbs would be all Yew wood with Kudu horn overlays and tips. I really like the contrast of the two.
 Next onto the handle section we agreed to go with the I-beam in Pheonolic with Dark Chechen and Yew. I also opted for the T/D with Kudu handle overlays with finger grooves.
 I asked for the grip to be a little bigger than usual and to be cut 3/16" past center.
Now for the eye candy.......

Here is the first picture I got showing the wood and Phenolic that was used to create the handle section.
The two outside are the Chechen and the others being the Phenolic and Yew.

The Yew and Clear glass for the limbs. Can't wait to see how the Yew ages. Love how it darkens up.
