Hi all!
First I wanted to say Happy New Year to all my bow brothers.
I was lucky to find a beautiful piece of Idaho black Walnut and thought it would be a perfect candidate which to build the entire bow from.
She is a 58" 55#@26" and has a Foam core with a strip of Carbon added to help spit arrows with a fury and it does! To finish off the limbs I added Kudu tips.
The past center cut riser was made from the figured crotch section of the tree and strengthened with Koa and phenolic.Myrtle burl accents dress up the front.
Hope you enjoy the pictures and please ask me any questions.
Thanks,Curt

What a beauty!!!
really clean, precise, exceptional work!
Beautiful bow. The walnut makes a nice looking limb veneer.
Omg. What a beauty!!!!
Curt,you really have some incredible woods and this is one heck of a bow too. :notworthy:
Now thats a good looking bow
Just Awful!!!!!!(NICE)
I'm jealous bro. Of your walnut and of your medallion. I love that medallion. Its like , really cool.
Curt that is really great walnut. I just got some walnut thats called Paradox Walnut that is to die for marblecake. It looks very similar. Its also called Bastogne.
I'm going to have to use it in self defense now. Either that or send you a check. LOL. Those veneers are as good as it gets.
God bless and wonderful work . Steve
Yes I have a question ..... Is it for sale?
Thanks guys,the lighting was bad today and didn't pick up all the colors in the wood,just beautiful.
I'm extremely pleased with the foam/carbon core as it really moves the arrows.
Steve,
Thanks,your post always make me laugh! I'm trying to get some Turkish Walnut for a bow now,that wood is $$$$
awbowman,yes it is for sale,if interested please pm me
I have a question!
How can I get one?!
Oh my. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool walnut freak. I love beautiful shotgun stocks as they have enough area to really show off the grain. Then I see your bow. It doesn't take a lot of area for that piece of wood to work on you. Nice job of finishing too. Walnut takes some pretty good pore filling to come out like that. Congratulations. Nice that it shoots too :)
Ditto what Bladepeek said about being a walnut freak!
That is an excellent piece of bowmanship right there! Beutiful work. :thumbsup: :clapper:
Very good looking!!! :clapper:
Nice veneers!
Nice looking bow!
That is one beautiful bow! :notworthy:
Another great looking bow Curt! What kind of grip is that? Just amazing wood all the way around. Looking forward to seeing you and your bows at KaZoo in 10 days!

john
amazing
hmm. a nice set of foam cores might be nice. are they faster? smoother? mix? never shot foam cores but everyone seems to love them
That is awesome !!
If you haven't tried one of Curts bows you are missing out. After seeing this bow I really had to rethink my order. I originally had an all Myrtle bow ordered. Then this post came along. Sooooooo, after talking to Curt he had an idea. He sent me some pics and another masterpiece was thought of. Curt said he doesn't know why he didn't think of it before but it looked gorgeous!
He took the walnut riser and put it next to the Myrtle limbs and presto! So I ordered a black walnut riser with Myrtle limb veneers. To say I'm stoked is an understatement. Curt emailed me the other day and said he just glued up the riser and it looks stunning.
I've waited on bows before but this one is killing me! Do yourselves a favor and consider one of Hunters Bows for your next purchase.
Mike, that sounds like a great combination. I saw some walnut burl veneers next to some tiger myrtle veneers at the Expo and it looked like it would make a great combo. Add that to Curt's premium wood selections and you should have a stunning bow!
I've always wanted a bow with black walnut and now I'll have it. Curt just has a knack at putting wood together to make it flow. His veneers are like no others.
