Really was a super looking bow Roy. Wade got a good one there.

Roy - For me the bow isn't really an investment as I bought it for the collection because of the Bubinga I-beam. I don't really consider my collection to be an investment, as I don't intend to ever sell it. When possible, I try to pick up variations in the riser woods for each year, length and riser style of the Kodiaks. Different combinations just seem to keep surfacing.

John - Yes, that is really a super looking bow. Roy worked some amazing magic on it with his refinishing talents.

Tom - I was fortunate that the bow wasn't 10 to 15 pounds lighter, or you probably would have won.

Tom - The 64" Bubinga SW arrived today. You did a super refinish job on it and some great packaging for shipment.

Your 64" looks better then the 60" Bubinga SW. I may have to tear that leather grip off that 60"...
