This a lefty that I refinished.  Jorge Coppen purchased the bow last fall.

Well, thirteen minutes of watching a little arrow going in a circle confirmed that photobucket is apparently having a severe midlife crisis.

Brad -

Just did an actual time-study on our experimental recovery project.  

The URL of this is a Special Deluxe image that took less than a minute to copy from photobucket and post on this thread. It was posted on a thread on this site in May 2015 by Vincent Pokryfki (highlife)

       

From your description of what you see on the screen, I would guess your problem is either with your software or with your photobucket account, perhaps too many images.

"If all else fails, reboot", that was the common Microsoft fix that I employed most frequently during my long tenure in fiber systems development.

It is still the most common fix I use on my PC. Guess it is about the only fix I remember.

Wade,

You apparently have much better internet service.  I quite often have to enter passwords two or three times because Hughesnet is incapable of keeping a steady signal to and from my location.  Rather than cancel and have a fight on my hands, I have opted to tough it out for a few more months until the contract expires.

Brad,

We are fortunate to have pretty reliable highspeed Internet access here. So I very incorrectly, assume everyone has it.

In the days of dial up and slow access, the only two fixes that ever seem to work for me were keeping my fingers crossed and praying.

I'm certain both methods are just as effective today as they were 20 or 30 years ago.

Larry -

Have never owned any veneers other then zebrawood on a Deluxe.

Can recall seeing a couple of bows that had maple under clear glass, but remember for sure that at least one was not a Deluxe. Not sure of the other.

Have you ever seen an I-Beam Kodiak Deluxe with no zebrawood inset in the riser?

Great finish, great glass. 2 screw holes for sights. And it has a quiver bushing for a Bolt-on quiver.  Yes you guessed it, some idiot let the quiver spin around a bit at some point in the past. 60"46#

I don't get the opportunity to see many Deluxe's so no as to not seen zebrawood inset in the riser.
 
Striking looking bows.... Very unfortunate the clouding, stress and delamination issues. Certainly one of Bears top eye catchers!!

Good thread Trap..........

Trap,

Think I'll keep IA723 as it is in pretty nice condition.

Really appreciate you mentioning IA039. Perhaps, if it were excellent or a single digit number, it would  be of more interest.

There are been several recent sales of Kodiak Deluxe and Kodiak Special Deluxe bows.

A recent sale, 60", 48#...

     

There have even been a couple of remakes that have been sold recently...

They are gorgeous when you find one with minimal stress lines and/or clouding.  Fred was about fifty years ahead of the game on that one.  I have been reading about and even seeing some clouding issues on the clear Gordon glass on some very recent bows, so it isn't totally figured out yet.  But there are lots of bows out there now with clear glass over some fantastic veneers.  I have a 2006 Martin Serengeti that has limb veneers that I would love to have a Deluxe.

Again Wade,
Just don't have the opportunity to get my hands on many of the Deluxe's and the very few have been zebrawood veneer on the lam's. Just thought I would run that by you to see if any have shown up!
That is a sweet one you recently acquired. The original has that nice gloss finish where the remake looks satin. I prefer the gloss. To my way of thinking it has more appeal as there is something about an original Bear along with the history that just makes it the better choice. Certainly would be worth a reprisal effort from Bear if done right.

I agree Larry,

Classic Bear recurves are supposed to be glossy. I have a 59 Repro with a Satin finish and it just doesn't look right IMO.

Keep those Deluxe's coming!!!!!!
