I gotta say, pics will not do either the bow or the quiver justice! The Big River Bows are just an amazing bow. Those folks that have had the pleasure to shoot one of Johns bows, always buy another one or two..... Best bow I have ever shot!

HNH Quivers are pretty awesome to boot, just look at it!!!!

Nice looking bow.  I was introduced to John in person last Monday.  Walked away with a beautiful Tulip wood R/D.  Goes real good with the 'D' shaped Big River I already have.  I know what you mean about kid in a candy store.  I just got back into trad in December and already own three bows hahaha.  Is there a tutorial on how to post pics on here?

Rafael,

I had my eye on that bow as soon as I walked into John's shop.  Then I shot it and another bow and had to have it.  It's 66" 55#'s @28.  I don't remember ever seeing tulip wood before and was really taken by it.

Pete,                                                                                                       Yeah he had a pic of tulip wood bow he made for a gal, its a beautiful wood. Big Rivers are very good shooting bows. They are simple and good looking no big frills about them, but they are shooters and no hand shock at all. I shot  a lot of different long bow this year at kalamazoo Mich. the only bow that was comparable to my Big River was the Northern Mist another great shooting bow.       Hey! that might be an Idea for my 4th bow.

Bigriver,  I think you meant John is an old geezer and makes a nice bow for a young guy, old guy or a medium guy.  I'd put his one piece up against anyone.
