This is the first bow I have ever received new. The wait was not long, but it still sucked! haha. I don't know how you guys can wait over a year for a bow.. but more power to you!
Will Cocke has outdone himself on this bow. It is a 16" riser with wenge and bocote, the limbs are bocote(recurve) and zebra wood(hybrid). I told him what I wanted expecting it to look good, but not to look that stinking good.

It should be here some time this week, and if all works out, it will get its first Hero pic this week over a hog! :pray: :pray: :pray:
Very nice!! Congrats!!
Daniel, congrats on the new bow it's a looker for sure. When you get it would you mind posting a few strung pics so we can see the strung profile?
:thumbsup:
Very nice, please keep us posted on your tests.
Here is the profile of a 60" hybrid and a 60" recurve. Glad you like it Daniel, hope it brings you many memories.

That is beautiful. I love bocote.
:campfire:
A real looker. Congratulations.
that's a beauty Daniel. Let me know if you need a good string for it.... :saywhat:
Just kidding of course! I hope you enjoy it.
Great looking bow. I've never heard of the bowyer, "Will Cocke 2", until now. Looks like he did you good. I expect others on TradGang will be taking notice of his work. Congrats and good shooting. :thumbsup:
Congrats, that's a beauty for sure.
He certainly knows how to finish wenge. Nice setup :thumbsup:

Hopefully not stepping out of line here, but since you mentioned people taking notice of his work I'm going to mention it. I believe he's considering creating the next Hope and Faith for our viewing and shooting pleasure. :thumbsup: not sure if it's a done deal, but I saw it mentioned on another recent thread.
:campfire:
That's very nice , thanks for sharing . :thumbsup:
Beautiful bow Daniel, congrats.

I appreciate that, Kenneth! It all went out this am. Did you get tracking confirmation?
Sure did Daniel, thanks again.
You did good brother, fine looking bow set-up.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
That is an absolutely beautiful bow/limbs - either set! Congratulations!
Eh, its OK I guess. LOL!
Congratulations, looked at Will,s site and sure got my attention.
That looks great man, congrats. Nothing like a new bow...especially one that looks so good.
That looks great! I can't wait to give his passaround bow a go!

Dan sent me some pics of this bow a couple days ago, I had never heard of the bowyer before then. He has my full attention now!!
Beautiful bow Daniel. Go get some blood on it!
Jake
That's a looker for sure! :thumbsup:
He is surely making some beautiful bows!
I love the strung profile of that hybrid too!
Thanks for sharing, and I hope he gets all the business he wants :clapper:
Gorgeous!
That is one sweet bow! Congrats! :thumbsup:
Great looking bow Daniel! Will done good!
And for those who have not heard of Will Cocke the bowyer, he has a pass around thread going even as we speak. Although the list is getting long and I'm sure he will have to cut it off soon or he won't ever get that bow back

Haha! That was a GREAT post, Alan!!!!

A beauty no doubt.
Congrats!
Oh Yeah. As mentioned we'll need a shooting review. Congrats to you and Will!
Great looking bow !!! Looking forward to a review soon.
Daniel,
I have one of Will's bows on order. You are right about the waite being difficult. I have ordered several custom bows and the wait has always been a little difficult. The older I get it seems the wait gets more difficult.
Your bow is great looking. Let us know how it shoots and by all means show us some hero photos when it draws first blood.
Now I am even more anxious as to what mine will look like.
Beauty!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Man just when I thought I'd seen the prettiest looking bow. That is one gorgeous piece of art. Hope you get to let the air out of something this fall with it.
That's one beautiful bow! Good luck with it this fall!
-Jay
Nice bow Daniel, looking forward to your shooting report.
Outstanding work.
really gorgeous!
Very nice. I hope it shoots just half as good as it looks and you'll be in good shape
Truly Awesome!
That is a beauty right there.
