I'm trying to figure out this attaching photo thing again. It's been awhile and I always seem to struggle so I thought I would share these photos of my curves.

You can't stop there, you have to tell us what woods, length, poundage, all the good stuff. Very pretty collection.
Wes makes a gorgeous bow. He is a fine gentleman as well.
Wow. glad you figured out the picture thing, those are nice.
What benefits do you get from using two brass nocking points?
Man I love the mentor...had a beauty before that I regret selling
Ok, I will give the 411.
1) 64" 60#@28" Macasser Ebony Riser with myrtlewood accents, Myrtlewood veneer with Bamboo core. This bow is buttery smooth to draw and as quiet as a longbow. It has a heavy feel that that offers a confidence inspiring finish to the shot.
2) 62" 55#@28" Cocobolo/Bacote Riser with footed limbs of the same. Moose antler on back of riser and tips. Hand Engraved limb bolts by me, and a polished finish to gloss to show the awesome grain in this riser, My indoor and 3-D go to bow.
3) 56" 61#@28" Very Very Beautiful Cocobolo through out the bow, riser and limbs. Riser has Bacote Accent stripe with Moose antler on the back. Limbs are split Cocobolo/Bacote with antler tips as well. This is Wes's new B-Model riser, 15" riser instead of 19". Working limbs of a 60" bow make this bow an absolute rocket launcher. I know my 64" 60# bow sends a 500gr. arrow around 207fps, I've not chronographed this one yet but I have a no doubt this one is way faster as it seems to explode of the shelf. My hunting setup is Carbon Express Heritage 250 with 225gr. up front and total weight about 640gr. Arrow flight is a thing of beauty! Such a deadly weapon! This would be my pick if I could only have one. Does everything I want it to do in a great way.

The Original Mentor riser is the Bacote/Cocobolo with gloss, The B-Model riser is the dark Cocobolo with Bacote stripe.

Just got my Mentor in on sat. been too busy shooting it to take pic's. cocbolo / bacote riser and bacote veeners over boo core. Shoots like a dream. Wes builds one very fine bow and is great to talk with. I like his bows so much I placed an order for a Royal with matching wood. I'm glad its time for me to drop in bow weight.
Your bows are georgous!!
Beautiful bows. When I was choosing my first 66" take down recurve, the final two choices came dow to a Blacktail and a Wes Wallace.
Both great shooting recurves from two fine bowyers.
Like your taste in bows! :)
Really nice bows,I am been thinking of Wes's bows for quite long time.Some day!
Yes, Wes does make a fine bow..I'm really enjoying mine.
Super looking bows you got there.
Blueridge, I have matching longbows for each Mentor. 3 2 piece Longbows
1) 66" 61#@28" Macasser Ebony, footed Ebony veneers with Stained Bamboo core. Moose antler on back of riser
2) 64" 56#@28" Macasser Ebony and Myrtlewood with Bamboo core
3) 62" 51#@28" Cocobolo/Bacote riser with split veneers footed with Cocobolo/Bacote, Moose antler on back of riser

Now that's what I'm talkin about!!
My longbow will be the twin to your #3. Looks fantastic.
Mine will be 66" 50# @28" and a t/d
I am getting my " Old Man" bows a little early.

wow. I bet Wes sends you a Christmas card every year. LOL Great looking collection.
Hatrick. Very nice! Mine likes a heavy arrow and I really like the grip

Very beautiful Hatrick!
Sequoia, I started doing the double nock when hunting, helped me keep the arrow on the string when in my treestand. Wind or a bump would have me knocking another arrow after seeing the one hit the ground.

Very Beautiful!! Love the grain! Wes is all world class, all the way!! I'm hoping to meet him in March at the PBS Banquet in Portland. Great guy building great bows!!! I'll have to ask him where my Christmas cards are going? Ha!
Tell him hello for me. His bows shoot as good as they look too!
The riser woods in my Mentor above are bolivian rosewood (pau ferro) and ebony. I asked for dark rosewood and Wes obviously listened well. Curly maple in the limb veneer stained walnut. The riser and limb combination turned out exactly as I was hoping.
Wes has always surpassed my expectations. He listened to me and found the right woods with the character or figure I was hoping for. I created something in my head and it's like he could see what I was saying. The workmanship is always impeccable, flawless, perfection. And always reasonable prices. If you look at what some are paying for custom bows, compare quality, craftsmanship and performance, Wes always is right there offering world class bows for a working man's salary.
man... he makes a fantastic bow, extremely clean work.
one thanks for posting guys those are some gorgeous bows! some day i wil have to get my hands on one of them...
