Pictures of beautiful Big Jim Thunderchilds, that is.
Jim finished up my bow just before he left town for a week or so, and I got it in the mail yesterday. Great attention to detail.
As alot of my friends know, I have been anticipating this bow for some time now. Big Jim has recently changed his wait time from 6 month to 10 months. If he made it 12 months, I think that it would be well worth it. I won't bore you with shot pictures, but let's just say that the bow does it's job and then some. Very quiet and smooth. Everyone has their own opinions, and I will give my honest ones.
I think that he did a great job on the moose antler overlays, with very smooth transitions. For MY taste, the veneers are the nicest that I have ever seen, period. That includes the ones that are posted on Big Jim's site. I asked for very highly figured tiger myrtle and that is just what I got. The takedown system is tight, with no noise and is very convenient and I love the beavertail wrap that is very well done. The riser is made just as I asked and is beautiful.
If I had to do it over again, the only thing that I would change is that I would have asked for darker colored laminations on the riser to go along with the Zircote. I hope that everyone else will be as pleased with their bows when they get them as I am. I don't think that there is another bow out there for the money that can touch this.
