I just got a lost Creek. I really like it. I am thinking about a heavier draw weight one. Please post up pic's of your bows so I can see some of the wood combo's.
Walnut, osage and dymondwood (http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=078007#000000)
Here's a couple of mine:

Nice one. Do you have any better pic's showing off the walnut limbs? I looks like they have some nice looking figure to them, but it is hard to tell.
J. Adams - looks like some differences in the riser and grip on those two bows. What can you tell me about the differences in them?
The Osage longbow is 58" and 51@28.
The Cocobolo longbow is 52" and 52@28.
I had never owned a 52" longbow before, but I have become a fan of "short" longbows since owning this one.

What is your draw length on that 52", and do you shoot it split or three under?
I draw 28" and I shoot split. I do believe that if my draw were any longer I would probably start to encounter some "pinch" with that 52-incher.
Ok I know there are more than three out there.
here's my 52" Lost Creek, Burgundy Rosewood Dymondwood riser with red elm limbs:

And me with my 56", 43# Lost Creek from last season, Charcoal dymondwood with Bocote limbs:

That rose wood diamond wood looks real nice. Thanks for the pic's. How do you like the 52" compared to the 56" you had last year?
I've owned 3 bows in the 52-54" range, including this one - the others were a Fedora and a Shrew. The Lost Creek is easily the most shootable of the three. That being said, it's still a bit touchy compared to the 56". Not that the 52" is a bad shooter, it's just not as forgiving as the 56", which is one of the most shootable bows I've ever owned.
Chad keep up the good work. I just wish you would build a 2 pc T/D....would be nice for travel ??? Hint.....
Bow #1 Lost Creek 56" 48@28 (super fast and not spine sensitive at all)

Bow #2 Unique, This is the bow that I won here on TRAD GANG....64" 49@28 It has a black finish and is a real shooter. It is the quietest bow I own. The finish was such a pain Chad says he won't do it again.

(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h58/buckvalley/100_1342a.jpg) This is one of Will Speeters bows I built him . Charcoal Black dymondwood with bamboo limbs.
(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h58/buckvalley/100_1330.jpg) This is Dennis's bow manyletters on this site. 60"48 @28 Burly Osage Black Riser.
What?! No more Uniques?! Say it ain't so!!!
:eek:
It's a one of a kind, Coaster 500 won the only Lost Creek Unique. The finish was a four step process and was a hassle. I will keep the bows gloss or a hand rubbed satain finish from here on out. Sorry, maybe you could talk Coaster500 out of his, then again probally not, it is an original!!
