Title: Sweet cocobolo Bigriver
Post by: Bigriver on March 30, 2012, 09:10:00 PM
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.

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:

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...

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.

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.
