The man could very well be waiting for a gap in the clouds guys.

It has been pretty wet over that way all day.

I don't think he has the bows sealed just yet.

Well we got T-minus 00:18 and the video hasn't been
produced yet... i hope you guys were not expecting to watch the launch live were you?

All systems are still a go on stage one and we have removed the staging on the first rocket launcher....

T-00:12:59...58...57...56...

here's a peek  to tide you over....

HOLY COW!!!! Just look at that thing!!!
 
    :notworthy:  

I also like that zebra splash up the front of the riser. Classy.

Kirk, I've been trying to publish a youtube video for about 3 hours now. Stuck on processing...

My dear dad can't see very well anymore, but if he could see that grain swirl, as a past cabinet maker who taught me to love grain in wood, he'd just break down and weep!

That is excruciatingly beautiful! Even without the inset half moon.. that is totally STUNNING!

The bit of color just brings it 'alive!'

Infreakincredible!

Can't rush art, John!

From what we see above...it'll well be worth the wait...

Make it, shoot it, tweak it, re-test it, photo it, upload it and then post it!

I'm tired just typin that!  :)

Ooohhh,...I'm not rushing the man Dave...lol

That one is MINE!.....if Kirk lets me adopt it..lol

I just didn't know what to say...still kinda speechless...

I know we all have different tastes...but that riser turns out to be THE best looking bocote riser I've ever seen....and my name is on it..    :bigsmyl:    

It has sharply contrasting grain AND its WILD.

I don't often see that.

This is just unfreaking believable!

..I feel like I won the lottery!

You out did yourself with this one Kirk!

My sincere thanks go out to you Sir!


Right now I do feel a bit sorry for Pete and Thom though..

Stay strong guys! It is going to happen!

Well guys.... long day..... I'm still down loading the Launch clip, but here' a few more pictures of some purdy wood to tide you over.

Here's Pete's riser with the nice slender grip he ordered.

Ok here's Thom's large economy sized grip.   She's 5.5" in circumference in the deepest part of the grip with a medium/ high wrist angle. The ol' boy has got some mitts on him!

Thom... i studied your video and watched your thumb location closely. you've got a good 45 degree wrist rotation.  if this thing don't fit you to a Tee I'll eat my hat with no salt.

 

 

 

  Now this was a cool photo....  


 


  Of course we have to have a couple Sister photos.

OMG Kirk, it looks PERFECT! The woods, the grains, the shape. Dear God I hope it can shoot arrows too
