Picked up my Ebony 3 Pc Longbow riser from Brian this weekend. If you are on the fence on whether to add checkering to your order...DO IT!
I don't know how many lines per inch it is or any of the particulars, all I know is this checkering is just like everything else he does; just right :thumbsup:
Perfect placement and perfect texture.

And these two just to show the difference the flash makes when taking a picture. Especially when you are taking photos of your animals, it is worth the time to take some with different camera settings:

First:great looking bow!
Second:great checkering!
Third:you have a PM!
Very nice work.
Great looking bow. The flash makes a very significant difference.
That is some nice work reminds me of my dads over and under.
Nice looking bow. I agree, the checkering is both functional and appealing to the eye. Good luck.
Congrats, on a great looking bow!!!
Thanks guys. This is not a new bow. I just sent one of the TTs I had back in to be done. Looks like I will have to rotate them ALL back thru the shop now ;)
I can attest to how beautiful the look and feel is. I got to hold that bow this weekend at Kzoo, and now I'm rethinking my decision to install leather grips on mine. That is one task that should be left to the professionals, and Brian (once again) proved he is at the top of that list.
Awesome bow Steve, and excellent work Brian.
Negotiate a "Volume" discount :D
WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!
Quality checkering is an impressive skill. Looks great!
Looks exactly like Dave Windauer's checkering. I wonder if Dave does Brian's bows. I know that he checkers for others.
Brian does his own checkering. He has my riser right now working on refinishing it and it will also be checkered. He's also completed a new set of limbs for me. I should be seeing it in the next couple of weeks. He does fantastic work!
Steve,
Thanks for posting the pics of your bow!

You simply cannot beat high quality checkering on a riser. Best option that you can buy with a bow!
Steve how many bow's doeas a guy need! LOL! Looks good, Brian does some good work for sure. :thumbsup:
just perfect. looks great how does it feel in the hand?
That's some good stuff right there.
Steve,
After I held onto you're bow I will just have to have mine checkered also...can't wait.
Best of both worlds...you get to see all the lines of the riser and have a positive grip at all times.

Warchild,
Brian does his own checkering. I've been in the shop and seen it with my own eyes. When he first started building bows for sale and before he learned to do it, he was having Sherry Abrahms do it so his customers would still get a quality product. The guy is so darn talented, I get a little jealous sometimes :notworthy:
Yep. All my bows are checkered. Love the feel of it.
Brian is a man of many talents.
His checkering looks as well done as any I've seen.
I forgot to tell you Steve that I took your bow out for a test drive. Very nice indeed!!
I'm anxious to see the new riser and longbow limbs that are in the works. Yours was so nice it's hard to imagine he could build one any better, but I'll be checking it out to see! :thumbsup:
I too got to hold that bow at the show. All the comments so far are right on. Brian just keeps raising the bar. I can't wait to see my longbow, Brian told me it will be special. Brian brought some nice bows to the show, if you didn't go to KZ this year you really missed out.
Wow! Gorgeous!!
Looks great!
Joe, wish I would have known. I would have picked your brain a bit. You know anytime, anywhere, what's mine is yours.

Truer words have never been spoken. Thanks for being patient with all of mine SO.
I have always liked checkering on my bows and Brian does great work.
