Silvertip Proves Worth The Wait
« on: December 21, 2010, 05:47:00 PM »
Well, it's been a long time coming. Probably ordered this bow 14 or 16 months ago. I've been holding out for the right wood, and it finally came together. I figured the  true Silvertip junkies might be interested in seeing it. I received this one-piece Silvertip from the Windauers just a day ago. Today I shot a few pictures. Please forgive: my composition and lighting are not ideal. Some pics used flash, while others didn't. I'll let you guys guess at the woods...
Feel free to ask any details you'd like.
I've got additional pics, and might post them later if anyone is interested....

Kevin,I bet the riser is Macassar.
Not sure about the stripe and the veneers because the light.mmm If the limbs are Koa they are darn good,but it could be also some kind of Cocobolo,also if beth has never sent me a pic of such wood on the limbs.Very nice sheep overlay.

Macassar riser, Curly Koa limb veneers is my guess. Whatever it is, it's another Windauer masterpiece.

The horn overlay is really nice.

Now I can see them. Dont know what happened earlier. Wow! That grip looks like it would put the arrow right on top of your hand. Could you post pics of the tips? Is that polished sheephorn? I have two of Daves TD's but would love to have a one piece. Maybe someday...

I knew all of you guys were good! The limbs are koa. The riser is a pretty rare piece of shedua, with a cocobolo lam down the middle. Polished sheep horn tips and front overlay. The grip area has a hidden compartment which holds an extra string, compass, neck knife and....

okay, kidding about that compartment thing.

This bow is so different from the TDs I own. Much more delicately sculpted than pics would suggest. It is very light in the hand. 60" bow. 54# @ 28". More pics to follow.
