Title: New Big Jim 3-piece Buffalo !withPics,Thanks Mudd.
Post by: Steve Clandinin on December 13, 2010, 10:24:00 AM
Yes,the little Fella did it again I was just sent the pics of my new Buffalo bow and to say its beautiful would be an understatement.
She's 60",60#@28" her handle is presentation Kingwood with great looking Waterfall bubinga limbs with Gemsbok horn overlays AND a special Big Jim Quiver to match .Pics coming shortly.
Talking with Jim and his wife in the last year has truly been a pleasure and finer people I don't know of .All my thanks to Jim for the two wonderful pieces of art and weopons he has provided me with.
I promised Rick Wilshire I'd get these up as soon as I got them.I'm just waiting for Kipp to get back to me so I can send them to be posted here and on Jims Website,C'mon KIPP !LOL.

I've been waiting for this one! Wow, what a beauty Steve! I love Jim's riser design, and those woods are gorgeous. Hold on, gotta wipe-up some drool. That Waterfall Bubinga makes for some awesome limbs, and the Kingwood has great character. Awesome bow indeed! Another masterpiece by Big Jim. Quiver is cool too. Congrats!   :notworthy:    :notworthy:    :clapper:    :clapper:

Thanks Fellas for all the great comments.Jim just seams to be getting more creative as time goes on.I really like his ability to put woods together.This bow really reminds me of the fall time with its subtle colors and simplicity.I really like how he matched up the quiver.Thanks again Mudd for posting the pics for me and Kipp for the Slideshow.
There are so many nice bows out there and great bowyers to help us,gettin hard on the wallet!LOL

Larry Jim sent me some pics through the building stage and Although I love the feel of the Beavertail grip the riser was so nice I didn't want to cover it up,so Jim put on a little smaller grip.Yea I like it too!
Title: Re: New Big Jim 3-piece Buffalo !withPics,Thanks Mudd.
Post by: carbonflyr on December 13, 2010, 10:29:00 PM
that would be a tough decision for me, whether to go for a naked grip with checkering or the bevertail  :dunno:

Truly gorgeous. Makes waiting for mine all the harder. The big guy really is an artist.

As much as I like the georgeous exotic woods that are available, I believe in function first. Fashion is a close second.
this piece of Kingwood was so nice, that I hated to cover with a grip too, except there is a blemish (worm holes) that I stabilized beneath the grip. On top of that, the beaver tail adds an exotic flare in itself, not to mention it is the finest grip there is. In a pinch, you can use it to pack mud into a damm too!

Wow gorgeous bow.

Even if Jim is big, he'd better eat a good breakfast if he's gonna be packing this Mudd around...lol

I've never seen anyone(bar none) that do a better job of beaver tail handle grips than Big Jim.

Some day I will have a Hill with one of his beaver tail handle wraps and another with a sting ray grip.

I can see them in my minds' eye just thinking about them...lol

God bless,Mudd

joekeith, Use the breakdown close with the wife.....broken down it sounds better...you got six months to pay for it... Hmmmmmmmmm lets see base Thunderchild is $520 that's only $86 a month $21 a week and $3 per day !!!

Hey honey I found a great deal on a Bow do you think we can part with about $3 a day for a while?

I know I'm soooooooooo very bad !!
