I received this in the mail from Rose Oak yesterday:

My first impression: WOW WOWWIE WOW WOW WOWZA!!
Brandon dose some FINE work. These are 51# #3 limbs on his "B" riser - black phenolic with cocobolo dymondwood caps and limb wedges.
I already have a set of Brandon's #3 limbs (love 'em) but "needed" another riser and wanted a second set of limbs. :D This just looks too classy and the pics don't do the bow justice. I'll try to get some strung pics up this afternoon.
That is sweet. I fell in love with that bow the first time I laid eyes on it.
Enjoy!!!
beautiful stick.

SAAAAH Weeeet!
Love those bows!
Gee Wiz Jeremy, that's pretty nice set-up! i have a set of #1's on a newer A riser. Sooo nice.I've asked Brandon if he would make a A size RoseOak riser but he said not quite enough interest.I'd like to have your opinions on how these bows feel compared to the Bear's.Your pics are making it very difficult for me to resist!!!
Sweet looking bows,nice!
Very nice!!
Nice bow Jeremy!
Now you need to get a few briar scratches on that beauty. If it would have been 60", you may not have had a chance at it.
WOW is right, awesome looking bow!
Luv the way it joins so cleanly to look like a one piece...very, very nice!
Will I see it in a few weeks?
From what I have seen, Brandon does the classiest work out there. And THAT bow is simply outstanding. Gorgeous.
Congratulations.
Joe
Nasty looking.I like that a lot.
That is just an awesome looking bow. Congrats

Jeremy,congrats.I know how much you love Bear bows so post some comparisons.Brandon makes really stunning bows and good shooters for sure.I am waiting 2 sets of limbs for my TD,s but this riser is really fantastic.
shelf is on the wrong side
VERY NICE!!!!!!
Well, photobucket is having a problem, so I'll try adding the pics later tonight.
I own/have owned Bear B risers from the 80's, 90's, and 2000's, including a gorgeous Supreme Series. The only one I've kept is a 1980 greenstripe with the "S" grip that I absolutely love.
I have side-by-side pics of the Rose Oak and the '80. The big difference is the lack of the latch system on the Rose Oak. Not a big deal, and easily fixed with a latch conversion kit if I choose to (I make the conversion kit, so it's easy to get ;) ) The Rose Oak has a little bit more material in the grip, and I'll probably modify it in the future to the "S" grip. It's a comfortable grip, but I want to make it MINE :) Brandon was great while I was ordering this, even going so far as to break out the callipers and take measurements to make sure it would work for me. In the end I thought it best to do the final little adjustments myself.
I did a review of the #3 limbs a while back. These are 4# lighter than my other set and have bamboo cores. They are 56# @30" and probably around 57.5# at my 30.5" draw. Lovely limbs to shoot. Check out my "Bear" limb review (http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=078764#000000) for more info.
I really can't say enough about Brandon's work. The fit and finish is flawless and a lot of thought goes into how his bows shoot and look.
I did have one scary moment with the bow: my first shot was basically a dryfire!! :scared: The nock snapped at release and the arrow dropped in front of me.
Here you go!

Killdeer :)
So... Bet ya can't wait to drag her through the brush and thorns at Shawns this February! :eek:
... mike ... :D
* A bow like that is just tooooo nice for me to own. Best of luck with her buddy. :thumbsup:
Nice jeremy.
Jeremy, A few weeks ago, you saved me from ordering the exact same lay-up in a Super Wildcat. I just knew it would look great. Your pictures prove me right.
DANG!!!
Mike, did you see the beauty I was getting scratched up at Shawn's last year? Or the new Horne's I was throwing out of the briars the year before? :D Oh yeah, this one will be beat the brush with me just fine!
Blackstick - did you order a Super Wildcat? That's another tempting bow.
Beautiful bow Jeremy! The side by side pic was cool to see.
Brandon is top notch all the way around! Great bows, limbs, and a great guy to deal with.
damn thats sexy
Great looking set up. Rick J
Definitely a sweet looking bow, if it shoot's as good as it look's you'll have it made! Jason
sweet bow
Nice bow!
Very Nice
I like the way Brandon does the limb tips.
holy moly, that's amazingly gorgeous!
just too many curves in it for me. :D
:notworthy: Funny one of the few bows I never shot yet :banghead:
Jeremy, super info. Appreciate your dedication to the Bear td.
Shick
Congrats Jeremy , That is an awesome bow :thumbsup:
I wonder why the riser is no longer listed on the Rose Oak website?
Nice, very nice!
