Mr Neaves has come through again. Just peeled the bubble wrap off this beauty. Chimera 58" 54@28. Brazilian Rosewood / Bacote riser. He inlayed a Obsidian Arrowhead into the grip. Belly veneers are Olive Ash that are nasty. He added a extra strip of carbon between the bamboo cores. Accents of Bacote / Rosewood. Stippled grip, Bighorn Sheep horn overlays on grip, thumbrest and tips. Hope the wife doesn't roll over on it tonight.... :D Hope you folks like it, Jim is a great fellow to deal with.

Sweet looking bow. How does she shoot?
WOW!
Ya I would sleep with it too, that is a beauty!!!
Lanier, that is a beauty.. :thumbsup:
Very nice Froggy .... please put me first on the list when you sell that beauty :bigsmyl:
That is fancy right there!
I like the look of the carbon on the back of the limbs and the wood veneer on the belly.
Makes me thing Black glass on the back and wood on the belly might be a good combo for the future.
Hide the bow from the game, and gives you something to look at when huntin is slow.
That grip looks perfect :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Man, you've got to be kidding me! Beautiful bow at a great weight.
Congrats!
Cool looking bow Lanier.
damn, no wonder the year wait...Froggy is hoggin the whole list. LOL, stop already so he can get my bow done!
My goodness what a fine longbow. I`d be scared to hunt with that one.RC
Lanier, what a beauty! Please bring it to the Hill shoot. Hope to see ya soon. Robert
I sure wish you guys would not post these Centaur topics. :knothead: A few months ago I bought one from a tradganger and now he's wanting it back. :(
These bows are awesome, but now I guess I have to send it back home. :rolleyes:
Seriously, that one is gorgeous Froggy. :thumbsup:
Absolutely gorgeous Lanier, congrats!!
Lanier,as I told you earlier today,the bow is stunning!
Jim sure is a master at what he does. :notworthy:
HOLY COW!!!!!!! That is just Beautiful!!!!!!!!!
Wowwsaa! Is that grip an option or is that a custom/dreamt up sort of deal? I like it!
Anybody know if there will be any of the Centaurs at Cloverdale??? I wanna lay my hands on one.
Hurry up and get tired of it before I spend all my bow allowance!!!! Super fine bow.
impressive wood combo
Lanier, Those lams look to be the sister ones of mine :bigsmyl: Jim had told me he had enough to build another bow with, and i must say they look extremly nice. I like the thumb rest better on this bow over the last masterpiece you presented. Does the extra carbon do anything for performance or is it more for looks?
Purty!!! Had the pleasure of talking to MR. Jim last nite by phone. Had a very enjoyable conversation.
That is probably by far the prettiest bow I've ever saw.
