Title: What happens when Brian Wessel and IdahoCurt collaborate
Post by: pdk25 on July 20, 2017, 07:17:00 PM
A little while ago I had a TallTines Stickflinger that I really like made with woods from IdahoCurt, and I thought that Brian did a great job putting it all together, so I chose another set of veneers from IdahoCurt and had them sent off to make another set of limbs that would make a 62" bow instead of a 64", and be quite a bit lighter than what I normally shoot in case I want to shoot alot of 3D later or just as the years start to wear on me.  Well, I just got the limbs back today, and I think they came out really well.  This is what the bow originally looked like, and the next pic is the veneers that I had sent to Brian.

Thanks.  We sure are lucky to live in an Era where there are so many incredibly talented bowyers, and where there is a market for people like IdahoCurt and Big Jim to make such great woods available for us to use.

I have the pics of your Stickflingers saved on my phone and look at them all the time! I talked to Brian last week and ordered my new bow. Not sure of the woods yet but I might be a copy cat. Awesome looking Bows Pat    :thumbsup:

That overlay on the front of the riser is so nice I thought at first it was sheep horn. Really nice Pat.

Limbs look great Pat, and yes, I have found the years will be relentless in it's pursuit of oldness.  Enjoy
