Iowa Hardwood Lost Creek Takedown
« on: July 28, 2011, 03:46:00 PM »
I'm posting some pic's of a takedown Longbow I just finished up for a customer of mine. I'm really happy with the fine Iowa hardwoods in this bow, that are from my home state of Iowa. The riser is Curly Black Walnut and the accent strip is Curly Maple. The limbs are Wild Cherry, with Red Elm cores. This is a sweet shooting and looking stick 64" 40@28"

Its all local lumber. I keep finding myself not wanting to use and pay the high price for exotic lumber. It would be cheaper for me and the customer. Thanks Chad

That is one pretty bow. Bet it shoots as good as it looks. Huuummmm,   I think that one is headed my way. Yep,  I will be the proud owner of that Iowa Hardwood. It amazes me how quiet and fast his bows are.

Apparently I caught him at a good time. It's been less than 3 weeks since the order. Better get an order in before hunting season.

I'll post my thoughts when I have a chance to shoot it.  Thanks Chad, What a pleasure to deal with.

The only thing better than looking at LC bows is shooting them. Another beauty Chad. Still haven't forgotten that recurve I have been wanting. Maybe calking you soon. That Iowa wood has to have some deer mojo!!!

Bud you or anyone who owns a Lost Creek is welcome to come for a hunt. Getting the tag is the hard part. But, it is a great state to hunt whitetails and well worth the wait I'm in zone 5. Thanks Chad

Really nice bow, Chad.
I like the understated look of those classic woods of your home state. You build one heck of a good shootin' bow!
