I just received my new Marriah Thermal last Saturday. I haven't been able to take pics until today, so I haven't said anything about it in passing until I could post pics.
The riser is Ziricote and Bocote, and I'm not sure what the accent wood is. The limbs are Yew with Ziricote over Bocote limb bolt pads and Bocote wedges. The bow came out at 60" and 46#@28". It is a very quick and very quiet shooting bow.

:thumbsup:
Thats one fine looking bow. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Ben/Larry,
Thanks! Ric Anderson builds a mighty fine bow.
Bill
That's a great looking combination of woods Bill! Those Thermals are really some beauties!
Very Nice! :thumbsup:
Looking good, now put her through her paces and get back to us! :D
Great looking Bill.
Sweet!!
I own three Marriah Thermal T/D recurves and have been shooting them since 1997. It's the only bow I need or will ever need. Ric does an excellent job and produces a quality bow. Keep in mind that his Chinook longbows are also excellent bows and well worth the money.
Very, Very Nice
nice.
great looking bow
Nice bow Bill
Very Nice!! :thumbsup:
Bill
Thanks folks. Ric built one for me before that was a little fancier due to the accents he used. But, I think this one is better looking because of the woods in the riser and the limbs. And the 46# draw weight is friendlier to my shoulder than the 53# of the first bow. For sure, Ric makes a sweet shooting bow.
Bill
Congrats, Bill. That's a great looking bow!
Claudia
Claudia,
Thanks! As you well know, the pics don't do the bow justice.
Bill
The Thermal is one of my favorites also. Very Nice Bill.
Very nice. Again if you EVER decide to get rid of it let me know.
Ric builds a great bow and that one is a beauty for sure!
Enjoy!!
Pat,
Thanks! Yes, Ric is quite the artisan. His bows are great shooters to boot.
I've sold one recurve and I think I have another sold to make room for the Thermal.
Bill
v nice !!!
congrats !!!
ben
I have one of his longbows but the Thermal is always in the back of my mind. Nice bow!!
For the prices he charges for his bows and the options he offers, Ric builds a fantastic bow at a very reasonable cost. Features that others charge extras for, like second wood and accent stripes in riser, Yew laminations, clear glass, etc, are all included in Ric's basic price, for example, $595 for the Thermal.
Bill
Ohhh la la! That combo turned out sweet Bill! My Thermal is included in my avatar. Ric sure can put a bow together!
Jerry
JL,
I've seen your Thermal in the Webshots assortment of bows Ric has built. Unfortunately, the person who used to do his checkering is only doing gun stock work nowadays and it is no longer an option, or I would have it. Your bow is a great looking bow, too.
Thanks!
Bill
Below is a link I found in a search of TG that shows a good selection of bows that Ric has built. JL's Thermal is included, especially closeup views of the checkering on his bow.

Select the standard accents option to see a good selection of bows. You can also check out Marriah Thermal 1 and Marriah Thermal 2 as well as the Marriah Chinook selection to see a good mix of bows with a good variety of wood combinations.
Bill
great bow injoy :) :cool: :thumbsup:
I took my Thermal to The Archery Shop today to shoot. As ever, it was a pleasure to shoot. I even shot it through the chrony and had a 5 shot average of 171 fps with fingers, 3 under. That is not bad for a 46# bow shooting 504 gr arrows. I LOVE my Thermal!! :) :D :biglaugh:
Bill
Ric made me a Chinook with a Shedua riser and black walnut limbs for me a few years back. He inserted two of my elk ivories in the riser (and wouldn't take any extra $ for it!). I also had the knife made to go with it. It's a beautiful combo.
He's truly a 1st class bowyer and more importantly, 1st class person. I'd recommend him to anyone.
I forgot to mention that I put a new bow on the string Saturday before shooting it. CJC built a 6 strand 450+ flemish string for me with Halo serving. It is a sweet and quiet shooting string and I haven't even put any silencers on it yet.
Bill
I just ordered a new set of Antler Limb Bolts from sticshooter to dress up my Thermal a bit. Frank does beautiful work and I always like to get a set of his limb bolts when I get a new bow. That is particularly so when I get one I plan on holding onto.
Bill
"A new bow on the string", LOL, Bill you must be giddy with aquiring that Black Feather ya ain't talkin right.LOL.
danny
Danny,
Oops, you caught me! :knothead: That should have read "...I put a new string on the bow Saturday before shooting it." ;) :)
Bill
Goodlooking thing. Bue--.
