Had a great time cutting osage with Jim Jones today... We found the gold mine of Osage..which is rare in these parts........ Jim says we cut just enough to build a few..lol......These logs will be riser blocks in no time...  :thumbsup:    Now we're heading out to hunt to top the load with a whitetail....     :D          :thumbsup:          :campfire:

Anyone know what bow Jim is holding on the webpage at braveheart? It has red accents by the limb bolts.

Love Osage ! I had a Firefly once and let it slip through my fingers in a moment of haste,biggest mistake I ever made .I can imagine some of the Orange Beautys coming out of Jimmys shop in the near future.Maybe with some trimming of Madagascar Ebony and Red Phonelic,enough to make a fat canadian cry!

Yes, what wood and what bow. Looked at the website and there was recurves and longbows, td and one piece.

Thanks

Hi Dave   :thumbsup:  

Jim offers 2 models of 3 pc longbows.... His original has the recurve style grip and the other is his low wrist version (which he calls the ROUTE 66)

The bow i posted above is the route 66 model...The fireflys are great bows...Jim does not make a 1 pc or a recurve at this time..

I'm guessing... but i think the wood in that bow is bacote with bloodwood overlays... i could be wrong..hopefully Jim will chime in when he sees this post....

I have one just like the one Jim is holding but I don't think it is the exact same one, mine is newer and has different grain on the limb overlays.  

Here is a thread of mine, I posted pics of it recently.  I has the bloodwood accents on the limbs.
