« on: October 07, 2010, 06:48:00 PM »
Got a call from Bill, My bow is done; a very long wait just bacause of the wood I picked, long drying time :that what Bill said. I will have to wait until next week because of family obligations can hardly wait. I told Bill he could post pics.

What model? If it was the bow he was working on when he cut up his finger maybe it was bloodwood?

Here are some pictures of Mike's bow.It is an all Cocobolo ZSR riser,with Mekassar Ebony stripes.The longbow limbs are carbon and foam with Cocobolo veneers.Mike also also ordered a matching quiver that came from the wood in the riser.I just forgot to take a picture of it.She is a 62"49#@28".The wood in this bow is truly something special.While working on this bow that is all I could think."Something Special".

It keeps screaming at me Mike, TAKE ME TO THE WOODS!I have been able to resist so far,but it has not been easy.I hope you enjoy your new bow.I know I will miss it.
