Very nice Chad.
Yep my all time favorite wood. I have it in almost all my bows.
I love Bocote!!! Great looking bow.
i love bocote too
While bocote sometimes makes me a little dizzy, those are nice looking bows Chad. Really like the one piece.
That's a great looking long bow with the forward grip Chad. have you got a full length side profile unstrung? I'm curious what kind of geometry ya got going on that one. :)
The really cool part about Bocote is that it's just electric looking when you first finish it, But then it darkens in to a deep rich color.
check out the difference in a years time.

(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h58/buckvalley/020-1.jpg) Kirk here is a bow I just sent out this week to Jim Towery in MI. It has a good bit of R/D to it. This bow is Charcoal Action wood with very nice wild cherry limbs.
This is nothing like bacote!
The last bow is not Bocote I was just showing a picture of the unstrung profile of the "Life Ender". :biglaugh:
love bocote. The bocote/ walnut I got from Idaho curt on here is absolutly Beautiful.
BTW that life ender looks like it would really launch a arrow. Like the profile of that alot
easy to work with too

(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h58/buckvalley/IMG_9465.jpg) I still find myself wishing this was still at my house. It was custom built for a customer in Ohio.

I bet that shoots as good as it looks!
I love Bacote as well, I have a few, your bows are beautiful and I hope to one day shoot a few. I've never shot a 3 piece longbow but understand there are many good ones. Those that have them seem to be a pretty confident bunch. I am truely interested in them.

Very nice Bocote, who is the bowyer of this model. Is it a Recurve, or a Longbow. It looks like a mild recurve. And what is the bows length very nice looking bow and I bet it shoots good also.
Bigfoot sasquatch "longbow"
It's a 60"
It does string up with the string touching the limbs a bit though like a recurve.
It did shoot nice.
Ended up a little short and too much weight for me..sold it here in the classys.
That one of your's with the dark bocote that went to ohio looks great Chad.
I really like the looks of dark bocote.
That one you made really has the right look.
I was lucky enough to shoot one of your pass around bows.
You make a very fine shooting bow Sir.
I bet the owner of that bow you built smiles every time he touches it.. :bigsmyl:
Hey John, You forgot to tell the guys that this Bocote on the Sas above has an Amber tint to the sealer that darkens it up a bit.....
It was great chatting with you on the phone the other day Chad. I'll look forward to some more communication in the future and swap some more adventures.
You sound like a man with a passion for the trade. looking forward to seeing more of your bows in the future.... Good stuff bro!
(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h58/buckvalley/new5-1.jpg) Thanks Kirk and Zradix for the compliments. This is a 54" N.A.T I built for a customer is Ny It Charcoal actionwood and Bocote limbs and overlays.
That is a great looking bow Chad! I too love Bocote!
Kirk, Chad and I are talking about another Life Ender. He built me a beautiful Judge that is smooth as silk, but that Life Ender just has a bit more "snap" to it. I've owned quite a few of Chad's bows and he does nice work, but I REALLY like that tinted sealer you put on the bocotte. Gives it such a warm glow. Next time you're talking to Chad try to get him interested in that idea :)
Ron
Those are beautiful. I'm a sucker for Bacote. I like it even more a year after the bow has been built and it has had time to darken up a bit.
Hey Chad! That one by the tree and the snow covered deck is my bow! Still the smoothest, quietest bow in my fleet!. Keep up the great work!
Emmett
I only have a splash of bocote in my riser, but I do love it! :thumbsup:

(Yes, my bocote fang does bear a striking resemblance to the piece missing from that riser in John's pic above)
I wish I had some of that curvy stuff for my knife handle!!!
