can I see some pics of risers with zircote or myrtle in them?

Top riser is Zircote and Osage.

Vic, here is a Ziricote riser. So what are you ordering now?? :goldtooth:
By the way, your string is in the mail.

Man I love this site. A simple question and bam we are looking at some of the greatest craftsmanship available right at our computer desk.
Zmonster tell me about the vastly different length ACS risers, I am guessing a 16 inch and a 12 inch.
My ACS bow is a switch riser bow with a 16 inch ST left hander made with zebrawood and a 14 inch ST right hander made with grey dymondwood. I notice you prefer the RC style.
A.S. I thought my lh bow made by Jon Gharing was the ulimate in lefties, guess I was wrong. Who made that stunning bow for you?
Predator man, that finger groove overlay is to die for. Did you shoot the gemsbok? My friends have now made two trips to Africa, albeit with compounds.

No, never hunted Africa, and have no desire any more. There is lots of game here in North America that I still have to hunt.
Myrtle and Bolivian Rosewood

Myrtle and cocobola....

Tree Killer, beautiful bow. Bolivian rosewood and myrtle were the wood choices for my new Blacktail as well. I'm thinking that drooling over pics of your bow just might help get me through the long wait. :D
JL, that myrtle & cocobolo combo is sweet as well. :thumbsup:

Zircote!
Thanks guys, I think I'm starting to narrow my wood choices. Allen, I ordered one of Big Jims Buffalo bows.
Should be arriving at my office some time today.......

Rooselk...that's actually my son's bow I gave him last spring for his high school graduation. I love the contrasting woods though! The limbs are myrtle with Bolivian Rosewood on the tips.
Lowebow, what woods do you have there?
Vic, I believe that one is zircote with myrtle limbs. The same combo as the one I posted pics of.
I look forward to seeing your new Big Jim bow!
lowebow, i have shot that bow. it's a beauty and a shooter!!! luckily for you the previous owner is a sick, sick man.... :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

Joe VT and Hogdancer, I pray you guys have fireproof bow rooms. You have some of the best looking bows ever made.

yea, TJ but I don't have the wallhanger whitetails to go with them like you do.
I second TJ!
joe vt,
Cause of that RER of your's I got a Hoots coming next week that looks much like that RER...Ziricote Riser,Olive Ash Burle limbs,Moose overlays and limb tips and a Moose drop antler on the handle with some stippling surrounding it...I will take some pics when I get it and try and post it here...I liked yours so much I asked Lee to look at yours a few months back when I asked you to post it and he did a great job matching up with your combo but I had asked Lee to ad some moose so it wasn't an exact copy...Turned out really great....He asked if he could take it to a stream or creek that had some rapids this weekend to take a few pics of it and then he will ship it to me...I'm getting very excited since it's done and curing...Keefer's <><

It got to my office before I left yesterday....
SHAZAM is all I have to say! I now own a BEAUTIFUL bow.
No argument here. That is indeed a VERY beautiful bow! :thumbsup:
myrtle is beautiful, is it a heavy wood?
Nice looking bows.
Those are nice looking TallTines AS and LowBow!
All the Myrtle handles I have hefted are very light. Zircote , much heavier.
All Myrtle, very light weight.

I went with a brownish bol. rosewood footed with myrtlewood. The myrtle in this bow is quilted and has good colors.
Incredible bow. My aunt and uncle used to live in Waldport and ran a gift shop. There is quite a bit of myrtlewood around my house.
