Title: First custom bow(eye candy galore)
Post by: DanielB89 on August 15, 2016, 12:27:00 PM
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:

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?

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:

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.

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!

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

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.
