Zona Custom Recurves - Bow Report Added!!!!

[WildmanSC]

Here's some pics of a Zona Custom T/D Recurve that is being built for me.  The riser is Bocote and Bloodwood with two mosaics of Maple and I'm not sure what the other woods are.  All that remains is final sanding and application of the finish.  I had the bowyer change the grip from a high wrist to a medium wrist.  The bow is 62" and 46#@28".

thats another zona bein made by bill

Wildman, I love the wood combos you chose. It's amazing the progress Bill has made since he built mine. The lines are sooo smoooooth on the limb transitions. I can't wait to save up and order my next one.

Horatio, That other bow is a Zona L/B in the early stages. It is Bill's original one piece longbow design. I hope to have one just like it soon.

Too bad she'll be up for sale shortly. Atleast that's what seems to happen to most of your much anticipated bows. It is a very nice looking bow though. The bowyer must know what he's doing.

Mike,

Maybe, maybe not.  I have gone through a few bows over the past 7+ years.  And some very nice bows at that.  Time will tell the tale on this one, won't it!?

Joe,

No, I haven't shot one yet.  Don't be too hard on Mike, he's just stating the reality of the history of my bow buying/trading/selling history!        :D

Danny,

I don't use photobucket, I use ImageCave for my pictures.  I'll try loading them in photobucket or webshots and send a link to you.

Nice looking bow Bill. I hope it shoots as good as it looks and if it don't work for you ... oh well.     :rolleyes:   I've gone through some bows in the last couple of years too.  Some I wish I still had and some I loathed that worked great for someone else.  Just like hunting, the journey is most of the fun.  At any rate, enjoy the sweet anticipation of knowing you got a real looker coming.  You always seem to pioneer the new and unique.

Very nice

Bill knows I'm just kidding around. I would never be too rude to a fellow bow collector. Lord knows I have the same affliction from time to time.

Below are some pics of my finished Zona T/D recurve.  It will be shipped to me on Monday.

Sweet looking bow Bill!

Bill,

Nice looking bow. I know how it is going through bows. LOL I could not tell you how many I have tried and sold or traded over the years. Some I too wish I still had. Some I am glad someone found pleasure in. It takes a while to find something that fits and besides when you have the additction like we do, you just cannot help yourself. LOL

P.S does the bowyer have a wesite?
