A few pics of a Bigriver 59er that Greatbrownknockemdown just bought. I picked up the piece of cocobolo for John at Kalamazoo & I`m finishing this one for Rafael. I sprayed some gloss on it to see how pretty, I think it`s nice.

Really sweet!
That's a Sweeeet looking piece of cocobolo!
Wow! Very nice.
Very impressive, was the rest with clear glass and choice lams as well or colored glass?
Stunning grain right there! Reminds me of the rice terraces in the Philippines. Sweet bow too. :thumbsup:
Very nice!
Outstanding......... :thumbsup:
Wow, just Wow.
Holy smokes that is one sweet looking piece of wood!! lol she is a beauty, she's most definitely a keeper. I lil birdy told me pics were posted, without the owners consent!! :nono: LOL! you might as well post more. That Gloss really makes the grain stand out.

Possum, the limbs are just brown glass both belly and back, with purple heart i-beam, red and white overlays on back and tips. Maybe BIGRIVER will post some of those, since he has a good start already. :goldtooth:
A great piece of cocobolo is hard to beat. Beautiful.
WOW!!! WOW!!! That has to be the nicest piece of Cocobolo that i have ever seen. Very Very Nice
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :goldtooth: :goldtooth: :goldtooth:
That is a wonderful riser. :thumbsup:
Yowza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll take it, sold!
Nice!!
What a stunner! Maybe now you'll be done ordering new Bigriver bows Rafael - they just don't get any better than that!
I won't hold my breath though...
I love cocobolo, very nice
The bow finisher does not need consent to post pics, that should be my piece of wood dangit!
that is the last you will see of that cocobolo, it will have a flat finish with texture. The gloss really pops out the grain.
Maybe I`ll just keep it.
That is gorgeous! The best part though is knowing how good it's going to shoot, knowing that it's a Big River 'curve.

Very very nice piece of cocobolo...
Brian and Rafael,
You better lock that bow up because when I grab hold of it, I wont let go :readit:
Very nice piece of wood place perfectly in a very nice Bowyer/finishers hand!!!!
Sweet?...That's pure sugar! :thumbsup:

HA>>> i'm so glad i know where the finisher lives just in case :smileystooges:
I just got a cocobolo and bacote long bow from John and that looks like the same piece of wood:) I even think thay were deliverd on the same day. Ill post some picks when i find the camera.
When Cocobolo is like that it is hard to beat!
I like that classic lines and the details on that bow,maybe in the future...
Thats awesome!!
Sweet looking piece of wood!
Wow thats puuurdy! I have a riser coming that has an exceptional piece of Coco in it. Can't wait to see it finished.
Beautiful looking bow.
Another beautiful bow from McDonald with the added touch from Brian. You're a lucky man Rafael. The only complaint I have about those McDonald bows is there's not enough handshock. You need something to know you're still alive!
WOW, that is stunning!! Great work and congrats Rafael, you'll enjoy that one.

That is crazy cool!!! Wife says busy....I say beautiful. Better not let that one get away!
That model shoots better than it looks.
Mighty purdy. (nut) :clapper:
