Well, I since, my golden years coming, have re-evaluated my curve stance.
Being that I finally got a way lower weight bow in a take down, Centaur 50# longbow, and then a 52# Super curve, Its time for another TD Curve that I can travel with......
I am going to be working with Kirk on a special project to work out an interesting new bow for me that will encompass many needs I have. I'm looking forward to this very much. His bow I owned in the past was just a dandy, and I know his innovations since will be magnificent. Not to mention beautiful. I already have the one wood picked out, and we will be doing just black glass for the limbs for the contrast.
Can't wait to see the work in progress!!!! (Build Along will Ensue)

I'm so glad to be back in line myself to get one of his bows.
So glad to have him in my Golden Age Collection, as his bows are are definitely worthy.

btw Terry, when I read the title of your thread, I thought maybe you found a dead sasquatch there in Cohutta.

Not sure if this is one block or 2, but I'm fond of either one with the orange check on it....

Kirk, when we start, I'm getting the order into you on Monday of all the info you'll need, just need to know if you want to use this thread or start a new one for the build along....
Oh, and lets do start with a raw photo of the block to be used for the riser before anything is done. It will be neat to see the changes throughout.
:campfire:

I’ll start a new thread for the build along called “ A blind Sasquatch for Tarz “
I’m still wrapping up a couple bows right now, and only have one more complete bow, and a set of new limbs in front of your build. So it will probably be another 30 days before we get into the thick of it….. but… I always get the riser started ahead of time…. So it won’t be too long….. Kirk

I have a list filled out, I just need to add the circumference of the grip. Get that done tomorrow...

My buddy has a lefty he's offered to sell me. Beautiful snakewood riser and marble wood limbs. He has 2 sets of limbs and it's an attractive deal, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting used to the grip. Are the Sasquatch grips pretty unique? I'm finding it just takes more effort for me to maintain consistent hand position.
My standard grip are medium wrist angle with a 5 degree wrist rotation to the thumb ledge and typically have great reviews. That left hand handed bow had a custom grip with a higher wrist angle than my standard grip, with more palm swell and a slightly larger throat circumference. So yes… that one is unique.
But…. It could be altered to fit you better. I’ve done grip reshaping before. Send me an email if this is something you are interested in. Kirk
