For Bocote Lovers - RER XR
« on: January 17, 2010, 05:39:00 PM »
I've had a new XR recurve on order for awhile now, and when I vistied there last summer I dug through his lumber stash and picked out a great looking piece of Bacote for my new bow. It's sometimes hard to imagine what lays hidden inside a hunk of wood, but let me tell you, I sure wasn't disappointed in this one!

62", 55# @ 29".  All Birdseye Bocote, with bamboo accent stripes and elk antler tips.  And it shoots as good as it looks!!!

That's some of the most beautiful wood I've ever seen in a bow. I love Bocote, and this is the first Birds-Eye I've seen. It was used in fine looking bow too. Very Nice! Congrats!

Are those static or working recurves?

Beautiful bow all around
