Thought you guys may like to see what the fantastic Jim Neaves built for me. I gave him an outline of what I wanted and he just ran with it. He is a true artist.
its a glass model with XTL laminations. 58" 60#@28" gabon ebany riser with peacock coloured pierce points with peacock feather engraving. Tamo ash limbs with a high gloss finish.
The grip is so good and draw really smooth

That is probably the nicest looking centaur that I have seen. Congratulations. I am sure that it will shoot as nicely as it looks.
Almost too pretty to shoot!!!
Another great bow by Jim
Jeff
Wow!! What a fine looking bow. Almost put myself on Jim's list but at my age I might not get to shoot it.
Gorgeous.
Beautiful bow you've got right there!

X2....dag gone!!!!!!
fancy! that feather engraving is a cool idea.
That's beautiful! I've had my eye on a Centaur since I first began shooting a trad bow!
Maybe someday....
Thanks for sharing!
That is super nice!!! Congrats
Jim Neaves builds a fantastic bow. Congrats !!!
I remember Dick Robertson telling me that he no longer would do pierce points because they were too much work to be worth what he could get paid for them...Brandon Stahl is not really building bows any more...nice to know that Jim will still do them...certainly a piece of custom bow history...thanks for telling us about your great little bow

Very nice, but the things got the shelf on the wrong side.
A master piece....congrats!
Every time a post is titled with "Centaur". I know I will see another fine piece of art by Jim!
He compliments Jerry very well with his points!
