The blocks to BIG FOOT bow transformation has begun!
« on: March 15, 2012, 10:59:00 AM »
Asked Kirk Lavender of Bigfoot bows to build me a 1 piece Longbow a while back.

Just got these pics yesterday.......

Mine is the mostly bocote one which will have a zebra accent.
I'm more than a little excited...lol

Thanks for the pics Kirk!

Appears to be much further a long than the 1st few chips from the marble.

A masterpiece in-progress is quite evidently foreshadowed.

Zradix, what's the weight going to be? I bet you're excited. I have a TD Sasquatch ordered in zebrawood at 44#. Congratulations, give us a review when you get it.

Well...whoever gets the other riser will be getting a good looking one.

That section of bocote that was used for the accent had really neat grain.

Actually John, I've got a really good idea who is getting the other side  :bigsmyl:  Here is a pic I got from Kirk yesterday, look familiar?
     

I still have the PMs we traded back in November talking about hybrids, and now our bows are being made out of the same blocks of wood! Too cool!

I wonder if Kirk has realized these sisters will be shipping within 50 miles of each other?

I got bumped down the list last year when I changed my order from a Yeti to a Sasquatch. I was worried about finger pinch on a 56" bow at 31+" draw. Pretty funny that you picked bocote with zebra and I ordered the opposite. Wood types is something we never discussed!

Mine will be a 3 piece takedown longbow. As excited as I am about the riser, I'm actually more excited about the limbs. I can't wait to see how those look!!! I look forward to seeing what options you picked off the dream sheet!I think mine will have one good surprise in store for you!

Obviously we're gonna have to get together and shoot these when they come in!

Hey John, I rode my motorcycle a lap around your place today (Grand Haven, Fremont, Newago, Baldwin, Ludington, Silver Lake, Muskegon) I thought about our bows as I went past M-20 both ways.

I got two new teasers from Kirk while I was out too, check them out!
   

     

I love the fangs, and you're right I think I've caught some good bocote grain in there! I can't wait to see what these look like as they start to round out!!!

They are coming together in deed!
