I'm on Greg's list and while I have time before my name comes up I'd like to see some pics so I can narrow down my wood choices. I've searched here and Google but have only found a handful of pics, so if you've got'em post them. Thanks.

Not an Elkheart but an Assyrian. Cocobolo riser with a black phenolic I beam and stained bamboo limbs. The MoBow.

In another year, I'll show you a picture of my LH 60" 2 piece Elkheart, with phenolic and Black & White Ebony, with B&W Ebony limb veneers. :D
Gregg already has the B&W Ebony, direct from Big Jim.

Use the search feature on Pow Wow for 'st. Jude's java man elkheart' and you can read my review again and see all the pics of mine. My baby, my #1 bow so far.

Great looking bows guys! This 54" Elkheart arrived at my door today, and I spent a fair amount of time with it. I'm impressed! A double carbon and bamboo core is moving my arrows at 10.5 g.p.p. very fast. It's also a quiet bow. I moved my cat whiskers around a little and found them best out about 6" from the tips on Gregg's string. Curly ambrosia maple veneers are really unique; never seen anything like them. I feel like this bow is very much standing on its own, independent of my Gregg-made Shrews. I'm not prepared to say one or the other is better, as I've only spent one afternoon shooting the bow, but it certainly has unique mannerisms that differ from what Mr. Coffey did with the Super Shrew, or Classic Hunter. I'm really liking it! Applause for

Gregg builds an awesome bow. Seen a couple of them in person and the workmanship is absolutely top notch.

I've always admired his bows. I tend to like a more "classic" reflex/deflex longbow, but those are beautiful!

Thanks guys, seeing all these beauties sure doesn't make choosing woods an easy task.
Chuck, I've read and re-read your post on the St. Jude bow and you are partially to blame for my wanting one so badly
