Title: A Rose for Kentucky
Post by: Bowwild on December 04, 2010, 02:47:00 PM
I ordered the bow below after being "introduced" to Rose Oak Creations by Trad Gang's "Jeremy".  Been waiting 9 months.  Bow was mailed yesterday.

The bow is LH, 60", & 46# at my 26" draw (~52# @ 28").  The riser is Coco and Bocote with Bocote limb veneers.

I hope it does arrive on Monday so I'll have one day to shoot it before headed out for 2 days of conference in Alabama.

I found Brandon very easy to work with.  He isn't shy about sharing his opinions on certain things which I like because I'm not a bowyer. He agreed to do the bow in Cocobolo even though he has a slight alergy (his words)to this wood.

Congrats on a great bow.

I too have had the exact same experiences in my dealings with Brandon. Having shot that model they are real shooters!

Very nice indeed. I have been eyeing Brandon's site as well for those bows and I got the urge to get one. Let us know your thoughts once you get it and shoot it. Flint

Wow!  Beautiful bow, and I guarantee it will be a great shooting bow too.  Brandon is a great person to work with  -  and one heck of a bowyer!  

Don't be surprised if you take it to a shoot, complete strangers will take it right out of your hand to admire it.

That's a beauty. Been fighting the urge to give Brandon a call and I think that pic of your bow has pushed me over the edge  :)
