Title: For Bocote Lovers - RER XR
Post by: Whip on January 17, 2010, 05:39:00 PM
I've had a new XR recurve on order for awhile now, and when I vistied there last summer I dug through his lumber stash and picked out a great looking piece of Bacote for my new bow. It's sometimes hard to imagine what lays hidden inside a hunk of wood, but let me tell you, I sure wasn't disappointed in this one!

62", 55# @ 29".  All Birdseye Bocote, with bamboo accent stripes and elk antler tips.  And it shoots as good as it looks!!!

That's some of the most beautiful wood I've ever seen in a bow. I love Bocote, and this is the first Birds-Eye I've seen. It was used in fine looking bow too. Very Nice! Congrats!

Igor, those are static tips on the XR recurve, as are all of the RER recurves.

Kevin did say that there is enough of that piece of Bacote left for one more bow!  :readit:    Anyone wants the twin, let me know!  :thumbsup:

Ray, This one is not for sale - it is staying right here with me!  :D    
The XR bows start at $600 and go on up depending on options.  This one has a really premium piece of wood, antler tips, veneers, and action bamboo cores.

Nice bow Whip,
My RER build is due in April, I had decided to go with tiger ebony but now you got me thinking.

I know you're coming up on the list Tom.  If you think you might like a piece of the same block as my bow you should give Kevin a call right away.  I really like the tiger ebony as well, but the bocote that Kevin gets, and his skill at cutting it to show off the grain, are really something else!
