Extraordinary! Bill has one of those "special" woodpiles where he saves the "best" for each of his customers. Great shooters for sure. Congrats TJ. Really nice combo that you chose and Bill crafted!

TJ i'm not a guy to jump on the "Best looking bow ever" wagon and Zippers have never struck a cord with me for whatever reason, but I must agree that is probably my favorite to date.  And the skins came out perfect for that combo.  What is the wood in the center?

John, the flare is Morado (a rosewood) I really like the grain in it and it matches the skins perfectly.

I will say this is the first bow I have ever gone and picked out the woods. I highly recommend it. As you all know woods vary widely and when ordering a custom bow believe me its a shocker to wait impatiently for months, open a box full of anticipation and not caring at all for the wood combo in your new bow.

That is a beauty for sure!

Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful bow Tom. The wood combo looks great, and the skins compliment the set up very nicely.

Billy, you don't think I should dip it?

A really nice looking bow. The dark woods and those skins do go very well together.

TJ-that is one fine looking bow! like some of the other guys, I'm not a big fan of the snake skins, but that is a really great looking bow! Good luck and congratulations!

Naaww Tom. It would be a disgrace to dip that baby. I keep going back looking at it, and I like it better every time.....really, really nice bow.

I have 2 Zipper recurves, and they are bout as good as it gets.

TJ, it's killer.  I really didn't like the looks of the zippers, however, they do look like they feel great.  I know now that they can make a looker as well.  Beautiful bow.  How is the mass weight compared to Morrison on the light side and Widow on the heavy side?  Tom

[LoweBow]

Dude!!!!   I can not wait to shoot that bow!  I honestly believe I've been waiting with less patience than you have!  OMG! is all I can say!  Bill you did an awesome job on it!  

I will own one of these bow....
I'm a long draw guy and shot many of Bill's bows during our visit to his shop.  I prefer longer bows, but his 58" bows were soooooo smooth!  Very impressed!  
Tom was very hesitant about the Morado at 1st, but the grain in that board was exactly what the Dr. ordered!  Can't wait to shoot this one!

Spurs, I like you from just seeing them on a computer screen never really cared for them until I actually saw one in person. They are much more steamlined than they appear and the grip, weight and balance are very very nice. And like you have grown to love my Morrison for these reasons and this Zipper is very similar in stature. I don't really have an apples to apples comparison to my Cheyenne in speed as it is 50@28 and this SXT is two pounds heavier but I have owned some 53 lb Morrison limbs and I am telling you this bow is very fast and stable. The sight window on the Zipper is more open as well. Not that I have ever paid much attention to that but hear folks talk about it all the time.

This comparison photo was interesting to me and may give you a better idea. Here is the Zipper (back bow) laying next to a Morrison Cheyenne.
