and it had a real nice T-shirt, bowstringer, and a big bubble wrap stick in it.

There must be something under all that bubble wrap because it's hard. Here it is!

Nice camo and nice soft material, but there is still something else in there.
What's this?

Looks like Ziricote riser with Dalmation Ebony stripe!

No, It looks like it went to the wrong address. Please forward it to
Albany NY.
That thing looks great!!!!
Okay I'm not much of of a story teller so here's the specs and rest of the pics. Big Jim Buffalo bow 60" 51#@28" Ziricote riser with Dalmation Ebony stripe and Dalmation ebony limb veneers. Overlays on the belly I had Jim make special for me. He cut the deer tracks in the white phenolic and layed it over Gaboon. I couldn't be happier with this bow!!! It is absolutely beautiful and just like all of Jim's bows it is one heck of a shooter!!! Thanks a million for putting up with me and building me the finest bow I've ever laid my hands on Jim!!! My hat is off to you sir! :notworthy:

I think this one will hold me over just fine until Big Jim gets around to #2 and #3. ;)
This is what I looked like with the bow this evening. :archer2: :D
Jim makes one sweet looking bow for sure :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thanks guys! Jim is truly an artist and his bows shoot every bit as good as they look!
its nice when they shoot as good as they look.
Beautiful bow! Congrats!
Beautiful bow.
bigjim is building me a 3 pc TD with Dalmation Ebony that should be started in the near future.
That overlay adds a special touch to it.
Congrats :thumbsup:
Natural camo... how cool! and beautiful!!
Congratulations!
God bless,Mudd
Cool bow Kenny. Are you going to Compton's? I would love to see that bow in person!
That is a fine lookin' bow.
Mike, I just moved down to NC so I won't be making it to Comptons. If you're ever down this way though you're more than welcome to stop by and fling some arrows.
Very nice! Big Jim is only 45 minutes from my house. So far i have resisted going to see him. Pictures like these don't help! Beautiful combination of woods!
That is an amazing bow! First rate all the way!
Sure is wasn't supposed to come to Livonia, MI?
Josh
Randy, I wish I lived that close to him! Actually it's probably better that I don't since I kept changing things up on him and telling him all my great ideas for wood combo's; I'd probably be wearing that bow as a neck tie if I lived close to him! :biglaugh: :laughing:
Sharp looking bow! :thumbsup:
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Awesome lookin'
Great looking bow!!! Hope you enjoy. Met Jim last year and what a great guy and builds an awesome bow.
Kenneth, Big Jim had your bow putting the finishing touches on it at the Kentucky Klassic last weekend. I got to oogle over it. It is a beauty for sure.
Congrats T.J.
Awesome bow shoot it straight and true. :archer2:
WOW! (insert whistle here) That is a sweet looking bow. I love the deer tracks. Very nice and congrats. :thumbsup: :clapper:
WOW very nice.
Great looking bow,talk about natural camo!!! :thumbsup:
nice bow,one of the best shooting longbows out there!
Thats a beauty.
My second one should be here pretty soon.My woods are similar to yours and I got some Giraffe bone overlays as well that should be interesting.
Ralphs got my other one.It was a great bow.Sold it to buy the new one with the Dalmation ebony.
Enjoy your bow.I love that one!
Looks like LargeJames did it again. Very nice.
That is one awesome looking bow :thumbsup: Enjoy it :thumbsup:
I just love how Ebony can be so different at times. I play piano and mine is over 100 years old with all original Ebony keys and absolutely exquisite. I always thought it was only black until years later.
That is a gorgeous piece....timeless.
Beautiful bow, Sir!
Stayed up LATE trying different arrows and this bow seemed to like them all. GT 5575 with 350gr. up front shooting bareshaft through paper was making perfect bullet holes, but the 3555's flew just as good but a hair underspined and the TradLites were on the money as well! I'm a little sore this morning but I just can't put the bow down.
Beautiful bow! Enjoy it! :thumbsup:
Wow. Great looking bow. Congrats.
looks like Big Jim makes a serious bow! love the wood combo.
I was just thinking about my new BigJim Thunderchild and you show us this! Makes the wait even worse LOL.shes a beauty.All the best.
What an awesome bow!! Mine will be similiar, except I'm getting Gemsbok overlays. I love the Deer tracks, excellent touch! Jim is just an amazing craftsman. I should be getting real close on the list now. Congrats on a fine bow, and "Hats-Off" to BigJim for another work-of-art. I'm going to be getting on his list again for a 2pc Thunder Child.
Real nice Kenneth !!! I like the deer track !!! Congratulations !!!!!!
Another WIN for Jim.....
I can't wait for mine. Great wood choices :bigsmyl:
I love the deer tracks! I told Jim what I wanted and he said he'd never done it before but he'd give it a try. Well I think he really did a Great job on them!!
Nice bow!!
Congrats for a great looking bow,for sure Big Jim knows how to make beautyful bows.
:bigsmyl: :thumbsup:
Very cool looking stick!!!
Really nice bow- congrats to you and Big Jim. :thumbsup:
Sorry if there was any drool on it, That is the bow that made me decide what wood to order on my Thunder child at the Ky Classic last week. Beutiful bow Congradulations.
GEORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing.
Man Big jim is making some really nice bows. I cany wait to shoot one of his takedowns at the howard hill shoot.
one of the best shooting longbows out there right now buttery smooth and quiet!
It is nice to read such nice comments about bigjim, he is in the process of helping me make a selection on my first longbow.
Dandy bow! Beautiful for sure..
Lucky guy.
Tony
