Scared the yell outta me!
I never get phone calls, and the voice was strange and used the name that Mom always called me when she was mad and wanted to beat my butt.
The one with the scary voice was Jim Neaves, and he has my riser milled already.
He also said that he will cut out the limb pieces-parts and get them all put together, and call me when it's done. Well, actually, he got all technical and stuff, and I tried to sound intelligent, but my brain was dancing like Snoopy in my skull.
He said that it should take about a week. I have a strange feeling that time is going to act a little differently now. And of course, I don't really expect it to only take a week. What's a week? I put in the deposit in February of 2008. That's been a while...I can barely remember February of this year. I did remember the expected completion date, May of 2009. Fourteen months. How the heck does anybody have the chutzpah to assume that they will even be alive in fourteen months? Don't people know what pitfalls are out there? Oh, that's right, we ignore them, and pretend that we will live forever. Shhh! :rolleyes:
So I put on the bright face of confident, positive optimism and charged on ahead.
And ya know what? It worked!!
Shhhh! ;)
Killdeer~ I can do a week standing on my NOSE!

That is an incredible piece of curly koa, Frogster.
I lived in Hawaii when I was little, and some of my most vivid memories are from there. Koa is a very special wood to Hawaiians, and I wanted to carry the sharpness of awareness that I had as a child every time I carried this bow in the woods. The koa will connect me.
Archery, like photography, carries me full circle from where I am, middle-aged and a tad cynical, to where I was as a child, exploring and learning, with the wide open eyes and heart that gather everything, and regard them as special. I guess it's not just a bow, eh?

That piece of wood is pretty enough to exist just as a piece of wood. I'd set it on a slelf and take it down just to look at it now and again. When it is made into a bow... I will covet it! Can't wait to see it.
Killie you make every thing so fun:
"I tried to sound intelligent, but my brain was dancing like Snoopy in my skull."
I feel it is my job to keep on encouraging you to write. You could still play with your bows.

Truly a great reflection that bow will bring to you as you walk the woods with child's eyes but with a hunters heart. Good for you. We should never fully grow up!

Thanks, snaggle.
This bow will come from a different PO...I work more than twenty miles from home. Dangit.
The bow will be 56" long, and 46 at my draw length. It's the Elite model, carbon front and back. I did ask for some sheephorn on the tips. I was thinking snakes, but the wood is very busy, and so I decided to see how it looked with just the black facing on the limbs. Koa is the only riser wood, I figured that's all it needs!
I can always skin it later, if I feel the need for camo. Sure was hard to read the addresses on the letters today, with that beam in my eye!
Al...never mind!

Ooooooh Koa, oh I gots "chicken skin" as the Hawaiians say just looking at that insanely beautiful piece of wood. And it's just as surley to work with as it is beautiful to look at... more twists and turns than a Hawaiian creek! But once you tame it, oh does it make for the most beautiful art you'll ever see. I saw a Koa canoe with outrigger once that brought tears to my eyes, and a koa ukulele that I still covet to this day. The father-in-law can leave us nothing when he shuffles off this mortal coil, but that ukulele is MINE!! May he live a long and healthy life though. ;)

Here's a thought....will there be enough of that beautiful koa block left to have a fellow trad gang member put a handle on a nice damascus blade? Just an idea so as not to see any of that wood go unappreciated.

Koa is a stand alone wood,it can make the most normal thing look out of this world.
Killy beautiful taste as usual.
Juan I came back from Kauai with a Kanaka uke that's got some insane figured Koa in it.

Jim says the wood is very lightweight, so if you like as much mass weight as you can stuff into a longbow riser, this isn't the tree. I figure if I have problems..uh, correct that...MORE problems shooting a wispy bow, I can always get some mercury tubes and install them in the butt of the grip.

Kathy,
Looking sweet girl, looking sweet! Make sure he cuts the shelf in on the right side so when you sell it I can have it. Didn't you tell me a while back you were getting me a b-day present? This would make a good one. :thumbsup:

QuoteI figure if I have problems...uh, correct that..MORE problems shooting a wispy bow, I can always get some mercury tubes and install them in the butt of the gripthat seems like an awfull lot of work and effort to go to...when it would be much easier to just send it to me :bigsmyl:

Ok, Killie, I've got to come clean. I have received my new Centaur!! Things have been pretty crazy around here, and I haven't taken any pics, until today! Larry, if you don't mind, I'll send you the pics, I hope you don't care to post some pics when you get a chance. Bocote with Ebony overlay and accents. 58" 48#@26". Shoots as good as it looks. Jim Neaves is a great guy to work with, and this is without a doubt the finest Centaur i've owned!! Thanks, Jr.

Larry must be kicking himself for not thinking up a way to kidnap Guss' bow.
And Guss must be the speed bump that was holding up delivery of MY bow. Not that the bow is late, it isn't due until May, and Jim never said WHEN in May. But this kind of work must have taken some time.

He has five more pics, but he only sent me these. The rest are on a Kodak online gallery thingy, and I can't pull the pics off it. Unless I pull a new trick that Rob just laid on me...
Naw, I figure I shouldn't worry my dinky little brain about it...because Guss sure won't, and it's his bow!
Sorry Larry! :p

Your description of the koa proves Doug G's point from one of the other threads - your writing is a real pleasure to read. You have a joyful way with words.

Well, it's dark outside, and I have to walk the dog and go to work. It'll prolly still be light when I get home, though, so I will try to get some pics then. I should take it to the archery park where there will be some good backgrounds for it.
And targets! :goldtooth:

That's the problem, new computer, too many new photo programs, new formats, and no natural organizational skills. I am not linear in the least. New knowledge roils around and around until all the parts recognize one another and coalesce into a concept and a plan, somewhere in the back of my beady little brain.
It took me this long to get just ONE RAW-format image downloaded, resized, and saved as a jpeg and uploaded into Photobucket. I have very little concept of how and where it is stored, in all of its permutations, in my computer. And now it is almost ten, and I had hoped to be abed by nine...como siempre.
Here (hopefully) is a pic of the shelf side.

I need some water and some sleep.
I will work on the pics tomorrow....if I get back from the range in time!

I shot all kinds of arrows, from breasted cedars to aluminums to tapered ash. Was the bow magic? Well, not in the floppy-eared warm-fuzzy Andy Griffith way that The Magic Bow grins and takes your hand.
More in the way that with a quiet "Thm", it teleports an arrow HARD into the backstop. She's a fireball, high strung and raring to go. She's a good bit like my dog, Spirit.
She takes a steady hand, and will fly off the handle if you get careless with her. I guess you can read behind the lines here, I was able to miss with this bow. She does not tolerate slop.
My 2013s were a litle flippy out of her. The ash was steady, but weak. The nice breasted cedars were too light in weight, the 2016s showed promise, especially when I put two into a baby poplar leaf at twenty yards.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/Killdeer/TG%20Uploads/Archery%20Equipment/A%20Centaur%20Named%20Ember/IMG_1417640.jpg)
So, maybe Ted has some 50-55 spined ash, maybe I have a dozen 2016 Autumn Oranges standing in a tube, meanwhile this bow will teach me how to hold my bow arm still and release as smoothly as water over a river rock.
I think Baltimore will be fun, carrying this firecracker!

Mike, it will NOT be carried around by some pretty woman. If I even catch one LOOKING at my bow, I'll let the dog loose on her.
Ron, I am not fond of carbon's looks either, but this carbon isn't as shiny as I feared it might be. I am fond of the way that carbon maximizes the potential cast in a given draw weight. As I can handle only mid-forties if I am shooting a bunch of arrows, it is nice to get as much oomph as I can out of the weight. Push come to shove, I will take performance over looks, uh, up to a point. I am seriously considering some broad-banded water snake skins, though.
Long day, I think it is time for a toddy and relaxation. These new photo programs are driving me nuts.

Kathy, I agree with your thoughts on carbon 100%, if you have a short draw, or are limited in draw weight, the carbon helps to level the playing field. If the "Magic Bow" becomes available, I would be interested!! The new one looks great, what are the tips? Jim's tip's are nice!! Guss

I have recurves that draw as smoothly as The Magic Bow, and recurves that draw like there's a mule backing up a ladder on the other end.
It all has to do with limb design, and where the bow stores energy in the course of the draw, and what the limbs are made of, how long they are, and what length draw the bow is designed for.
Balance this against whether the bow is a tad heavy for you, which will make you want to "attack" the string and get it back quickly, and your subjective feel of the bow will likely be different than mine.
Most everybody who has tried them tells me that Leon Stewart's longbows have the smoothest pull they ever felt. Every one of his bows that I have pulled has impressed me that way. This year at Baltimore I will pull one, and compare it against my foam-cored glass Cheyenne, and I bet there will be but a gnat's breath of difference. And I have no clue which will feel smoother.
Maybe you should get out there and do some testing your own bad self! There are worse ways to spend one's time. :readit: :D

When I glom onto a bow, I generally keep it, Larry. I know, a foreign concept, but stay with me here. Because I rarely sell a bow, they tend to pile up. Your bow rack is worn to the bone, though, from all the wood sliding across it en route to and from all the corners of the globe, especially Montana.

This is why a carbon-backed Centaur takes fourteen months to get finished. If you will notice, Jim called me a little over a week before the bow was "finished up" and delivered. The finishing up is easy, just a few swipes over a machine and a spritz of finish and she's done! The part that takes so long is separating out all the little fossilized carbon fibers from shale found in Jim's Montana mountain slopes, combing them straight and applying "product", and then weaving them by hand into a backing material. Jim can only sit on that concrete floor for so long before his legs go to sleep, and he needs to get up and move around and get the blood flowing again. Plus he has knots the size of hens' eggs on the outsides of his ankles from sitting cross-legged on the concrete.
This is worth every extra cent I paid him, though, for his discomfort and his time, as the bow's unique plaited backing gives it snap, fire, and durability that far exceed the techno-cool looks of the material.

A "double carbon" Centaur won the Walk the Talk get together, blowin' 195 plus at 10 gpp (22" power stroke, "regular" string). Translated, they are fast and efficient shooters. Love the wood choices. Killy there is a kind of rule, one must post a pic of the bow drawn, arrow and all, so can see the lovely curvy shape... and admire the bow.
Calvin good to see yer handle. Hope all is well up yonder. What do you hear from that lil orphan boy, Shane if I recall correctly? Hope he go plugged in somewhere good and taken root before this crash hit.

1st I saw the woven carbon was on Ed Schlief's newest version of Griz Sticks. Tough stuff and very resiliant. So much better looking than the flat stuff for limbs I think.
Excellent call, Killy. :) And I will continue to let you believe what you will about it's earth extraction and fabrication!

I will keep my promise and drop some meat with them sometime in the near future...

MPS, your intrusions are most welcome. Your extrusions, on the other hand...
I was pleased to see the ol' gang giving each other what-for again. I just got back from taking the requisite pics. While I was gathering props, the dog took the opportunity to do a little hunting. She killed a groundhog. Dammy they gots teef! As roly-poly as groundhogs seem to be, this fella was right skinny. Feeling his hams, he had hardly anything there. There was some sort of goo on one of his rear feet, too, looked like pus. We are not going to eat it. I am glad that this dog is well immunized, and she did not suffer so much as a scratch. She is grinning a little wide, and looks very smug.
I will have to download, edit, add mascara and subtract hair, and upload the photos, but I am fletching up some arras for tomorrow, though. And when I pulled out the trusty arrow saw, I found that the blade is broken. I'll have to use the one at the club tomorrow, durn it. I probably needed a different type of blade anyway, as the one on there is I don't know how old, and carborundum. What does all three types of arrows well? (wood, alum., and carbons)
It's a 3" wheel for a half-inch arbor. The motor goes way fast until you load it, and then it runs at about 7000. I think it is 23,000 rpm without a load. I better buy several wheels, because if I don't, arrow saws will be legislated out of existence, or they will stop making wheels because they put silicone or some such into the air and the Surgeon General will find that it causes acne in Californians, spotted owls or teenagers.
Time to put another fletch on.

Les, I beg your forgiveness.
I am an aging woman who has seen her dreams slowly eaten by the corpulent Machine of our society. But I'm not bitter! No, I just blunder along like the rest of us, getting what small joys I might from the passage of each day. That being said, I hope that you do not despise my smallness when I admit that like Huck Finn, one of my indulgences is the occasional lie.
An ordinary lie will not do. The fun of a lie is not in the lying, but in its embellishment. I must embellish and adorn it with little baubles of semi-plausible half-truths, while its bones, though they appear stalwart, are flights of the most outrageous and idiotic fancies that I can procure in my limited brainpan.
And so, Les, I admit that I made the whole carbon-fiber story up, though bits of truth lead one down the greasy hallway like the aroma of roasting turkey may dupe a student into entering a school cafeteria. I seriously thought that you would take my half-baked story with a pillar of salt, and resoundingly laugh me out of the halls of sober and scholarly pursuits.
For this I apologize, and now must live with the knowledge that in future you will regard my posts with skepticism, viewing them askance with guarded eyes and hardened heart. A reputation takes a lifetime to build, and but a moment's indiscretion to destroy, and although I knew that lesson, I must now live with the shame of having destroyed my own credibility.
But I know that in the future, should I see the opportunity to tell a whopper, I most likely will.
I am weak.

No wonder Jim thought I had a screw loose when I called and asked If he would be so kind to take me on a fossilized carbon hunt and teach me the basics of the cross-legged application technique.
When asked where I had gotten such a crazed notion I replied.
"I saw it on the net."
Jim "Umm which one"
Me "Tradgang sir, so it must be true"
Jim "and who posted it"
Me "Well sir her handle is Killdeer but some call her Kathy."
Jim "Son you have a lot to learn...let me tell ya a little about Killy and the Magic Bow.
Many moons ago...

I just got back from shooting with Pat over at NORVA. I like this bow more with every shot I take. It likes 2016 arrows cut to my length with 175 grains of point weight. 2016 is SO much more convenient than 2013, if you like tapered nocks instead of Uni-bushings.
I got some pics yesterday of the bow at full draw, but it is past my bedtime, and I am beat.
Magic Bow! Magic Bow! Magic Bow! Magic Bow!

Les, whatever Jim told you...he can't prove it.

My learning curve isn't quite as sharp as it used to be. Organizational skills are zilch. I did manage to get one full-draw pic up, so that you can see how this bow bends. I think it is a perfect fit!

My learning curve isn't quite as sharp as it used to be. Organizational skills are zilch. I did manage to get one full-draw pic up, so that you can see how this bow bends. I think it is a perfect fit!

Must say I like your style and the bow looks like it can fling an arrow

I don't know :rolleyes: It looks like it bends a little too much outa the fades.
Seriously? If your happy, it is a great fit. Awesome full draw shot, Bernie would love it.

Oh crud.
I guess I'll take this one to the Salvation Army, and tell Jim to try again, and tiller it right next time! Thanks, Drano, your insight and experience are most valuable.
And expensive.

Anyone else notice the intensity of concentration in that damsel's stare?!
I've seen that look a few times at B'more and laughed it off...seeing it in action, kinda makes me tremble just a bit...
Thank Gawd that gal tolerates me and respects her elders! :)

that was the first thing I noticed Doc, the intensity of that look. I think I've gotten that stare a few time via the internet...but was able to shrug it off. :eek:
But actually seeing it makes me kinda :scared: :scared:

I've gotten it in person at B'more shoot...even to the point when I made some irreverant comment, I distinctly remember her hubby, Clark, with his eyes wide open and backing up--fast!
I too have survived. Thank goodness for the depth of that gal's heart! :knothead: :bigsmyl: :notworthy:

Ohh, baby, lemme tellya; the prognosis is not good for anything or anybody downstream of that look! :eek:
All hands, emergency stations! Scotty, full power to shields! Mr. Sulu, evasive maneuvers, warp 9! Mr. Checkov, ready a full spread of phasers and photon torpedoes to cover our retreat! MOVE, people; this is no drill!
But, I manage to deal with it. It's in the contract. :readit:
What can I say? I love her.
Uh-oh; umm, gotta go now, folks. Seeya later...

OMG Clark got the look :eek:
It takes a big man to live with and love a good woman, some don't live long, but it's good. :bigsmyl:
Clark, may the force be with you.

Nice pic. Thanks for posting.
I'd say it bends perty, and you got a nice way back anchor and solid straight shouldered form. I expect it makes cast like a house afar.
I don't pay no tension to a woman's looks... err facial expressions.
