OK first of all, Ron LaClair is not offering an 'anniversary bow'. However, my wife, the plotting woman that she is (she kept a 50th birthday party for me a year ago a secret that not even my telling 9 year old daughter spilled the beans on-50 guests). Anyway, she surprised me with a new Super Shrew Classic Hunter Carbon. It's 56", 44#@28" and smokes an arrow like nobodies business. The color scheme is modeled after Ron's personal bow that's grey as well. Inscribed on the back is "Ray Lyon Anniversary Bow". Of course, it didn't hurt that my wife received a full carat diamond ring for our 5th anniversary. ;) Anyway, I was shocked to know that she and my Shrewhaven buddies were such forward thinking planners. Our friend Greg, the Shrewhaven Lodge master chef was not so happy he was involved now because on our first time to the local 3-D range with the Anniversary bow versus his Super Shrew Scout recurve provided a real thumping to him. Here's some pics of Gregg Coffey's creation.

Tex,
The veneers are grey stained Tamo Ash. Inside the limb it's mystery core, foam and carbon. I beleive the handle has grey stained diamondwood.
Nice....I like the dark wood combo!
