It started with me staining John`s northwoods cabin for him. We decided to trade for payment. I had him build the prettiest bow he has ever built in my not so humble opinion.
The cocobolo is from Hill country bows bought at Kalamazoo, the buffalo horn I got for the tips from Hornhunter, myrtle veneers are from Idaho Curt. The rest is all John. I helped a little on glue up, and spent 8 hours sanding & finishing her.
I wanted to see the phenolic a bunch & John made it happen perfectly. He also made the grip to my specs and nailed it.
I usually buy plain jane hunting bows, but I figure I need to stop buying Bigrivers sooner or later & this would be my last & for sure the prettiest.
Cocobolo & phenolic i-beam riser, bamboo core, myrtle veneers, buffalo horn tips. 60", 50# @ 28"
She shoots as good as she look, hope you enjoy the pics.
