Title: shrew and griffin woods pics
Post by: Bear Heart on January 29, 2009, 10:53:00 PM

I am trying to decide what woods to get on my griffin when my name comes up on the list.  It would be a great help if the owners of these fine bows would post some pictures with the details on the wood type.  Thanks.

This Lil Favorite has osage limb veneers and osage and cocobolo in the riser. (http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a140/jbrandenburg/Hunting2008020.jpg)

This one is a 64" Griffin. Kingwood riser and stained Curly Maple limbs with bamboo cores.  Pics don't do it justice!

One more Griffin to look at. It seems as all the Griffins have great looking veneers in the limbs.Tim

A Trad Gang member let me check out his 2 piece Griffin at the TBW Banquet last night.  That has got to be the sweetest grip I have ever seen.  Fantastic little bow.
