Well after a long wait, my first custom bow has arrived here in Australia safe and sound. Settled on a 2 pce Thunderchild from the big fella. Specs are 58" length and #58@30". Riser is walnut and tiger myrtle limbs with horn limb tips. You hear it said often about Big Jim's bows that "pictures don't do the bow justice", and now I know what they mean.

The Tiger Myrtle in the limbs is stunning, and it appears that the differing shades and highlights in the timber give it a real "depth"

Haven't had a chance to take it for a spin yet, but will finish off some arrows this weekend and have a shot.
Oh yeah, and couldn't help myself, had to put a bit of Aussie flavour on the bow......

To all you guys on the list, looking at this won't help - but it's worth the wait for one of Jim's masterpeices.
