Earlier this year I saw a post by Big Jim of some Dalmation Ebony he just got in, and being the Grain-Freak that I am I left a Roadrunner smoke trail getting to my phone to ask him to reserve me enough for one of his Buffalo Bows. Well, she's in and I can tell you she is all I hoped for. I absolutely love the grain in this wood and Jim picked some awesome Lams for her. Here's her vital statistics: Dalmation Ebony Limb Veneers, Bamboo core, Dalmation/Ziricote Riser, Gemsbok Overlays, Beavertail Grip and rest. 2pc, 50@26 and 60". I didn't have much to go on as for samples when I ordered the Gemsbok, but I'm glad I did, they look great and add the perfect touch of Class and Character to the bow. The carbon sleeve fits together perfectly and is rock solid. I'm very impressed with it. I love the way you can't tell it's a 2pc when assembled. The Beavertail is fitted perfectly also, it's my favorite grip material. The grip also fits my hand just right. She points well, draws smooth as butter, has plenty of speed, is quiet and shock-free. I'm very happy with her and would like to Thank Big Jim for building me a fine bow! I am expecting a pair of custom knives that Skullworks just finished for me that are made with matching wood. So I'll be adding a couple pics shortly with my complete rig for this season.

Wow that is one beautiful bow. Good luck with her this season.

That's a really great looking bow. If you ever decide for some reason you don't like it,(not likely) keep me in mind. I would love to own that one, even if it is on the bottom end of my shooting weight.

Chop,
You know I've been so excited with the bow and getting her set-up I never made the link on the "Pick a Spot" Jim put on her. I assumed it was his signature or something, as I had nothing to do with it, I just thought it was cool. Thanks, I like it even better now, it's perfect for this bow!
-
Hey People wait to you see the matching knives Danny had made by Skullworks.The Nicest set I have ever seen.UNFRIGGINGBELIEVABLE !If you are human you will be jelous!LOL

That is simply stunning - I love take down L.B's and this one is a beauty!

My new knives made to match the bow came today and they are beauties! They were built by one of our Sponsors, Clarence (Skullworks). They are Xcut Black/White Ebony, Damascas steel. One is a necker, the other a belt knife. These are my first custom knives and I couldn't be happier with them. I love the swirly grain in the wood. Clarence did an excellent job on these, the finish is perfect and the sheaths are sweet. I'd like to Thank the two Sponsors whose talents will allow me to hit the woods this season carrying such awesome gear. They are a credit to the Trad community. Big Jim for this beautiful bow, and Clarence for these awesome knives.
