I have been hunting exclusively with my two caribow longbows for several years.

I'll try to get some pictures but in the meantime:
one has bamboo limbs with a becote riser and the other has bamboo limbs covered with curly maple veneer and a coco bola riser.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

Larry,

I have had several of Abe's bows from the Featherhorn longbow to the Silver Fox longbow and the Taiga recurve. All are great bows and I do not think you could go wrong with any of his bows.

Cannot do pics from work but will post some later of the ones I have had that I kept pics of.

Hey Larry, wish I owned one to show you ... someday. Abe just updated his inventory page on his website, cari-bow.com plus he has great shots on his model pages. Check them out if you haven't already. It's going to be hard to pick one. Enjoy.

Larry, have you checked out Ryan's (Manitoba Stickflingers) bear hunt on powWow, on it he uses Caribow Wolverine longbow. The thread is called "My spring bear hunt video", I think its on page 2 right now. Thought it might tide you over until some pics are posted.

Abe does real nice work with antler as well

 
 

 And his attention to detail is tops.

i just cannot say enough good things about this tuktu.went shooting at the bowshop today and man o'man was it fun.i have been looking for my holy grail and i think i may have found it in this one piece tuktu.cannot imagine anything being smoother to be honest.and they are very fast to boot.

Nice looking bows! You mentioned Tulipwood and it got me to thinking about the Peregrine I used to own, not sure who has it nowadays (pictured below).

I've only had (2) one-piece hybrids that were nearly as good as the "holy grail" that I finally stumbled upon. Abe's Peregrine and Snowbird... super performing, dead-in-hand bows no doubt.

Larry love to show you my new Wolverine but I can't,it's not made yet.lol Still in the planning stages but when I do approach Abe I have no worries that the craftsman will come thru with a 'true' work of art.
