Last year Mindy and I reached a goal we had been striving for. We paid off our house. With a goal there needs to be a reward, we each got to pick an item that we wanted......she got some fancy purse. I chose a new bow. I am very partial to Black Widows and live very close. I wanted a cocobolo riser with yew accents and yew limbs. Talked to Toby and their wood guy had some good cocobolo but it was still needed a few months to dry. Finally got the call that the wood was in. In short order I was in Nixa stacking up pieces of wood and picking laminations. After driving Roger crazy with the laser engravings I have a finished product 4 days before bow season. Sorry but I uploaded a bunch of pics.

Wow beautiful bow! I love that darker yew in the limbs. All the yew I have ever seen is much lighter than that.

Thanks Gang. Its a I have the guys at Black Widow round off the horns for me. Drives them crazy and I gets tons of crap for it, but I like it that way.
Scott, that turned out very nice. Putting a thorn is Toby's side is a feather in your cap. Anyone that can successfully agitate him more than he agitate's you is one to admire. LF
Prettiest Widow I've seen ... at least in my eyes!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, A paired down (read slightly lighter riser) Widow, I think you may have started a firestorm!!!!!!
Congrats on the bow and paying off the house!
