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!!!

Great looking bow Whip.... Perhaps you will have it with you at Kalamazoo.

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:
Ih..Ih...It's ok. ;)
Smokin' bow!!
Incredible piece of Bocote!!

That is one sweet bow Whip. I have a 54" Arroyo with a Bocote riser also. Kevin has some beautiful Bocote wood.
Whip, that is a sweet looking stick! Congratulations, not to many can say they hand picked the woods in their bow. :thumbsup:

That bow is just begging for some spray paint............................................................Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It's beautiful.

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.
You can see the RER price list here:

Oh yea, she'll make the trip ;) My LX has been very very good to me, so haven't decided yet which one will get the start, but they both will at least get in the game! :thumbsup:
Very nice :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Nice bow Whip,
My RER build is due in April, I had decided to go with tiger ebony but now you got me thinking.
Greenie
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!
I get some bows made of Bocote but this masterpiece top them all.
gotta love tight grained bocote in a riser
Wow very nice
I think even if you were not a bacote lover, a little time spent with that beauty would change your mind!
I'm a sucker for bacote. That may be the nicest piece of bacote I have ever seen! Beautiful!
Thats absolutely beautiful!!! :bigsmyl:
That is some beautiful bacote!
