Can't thank Dave and Tracey enough for the beautiful job they did on these two longbows we are giving our twin grandsons Josh and Caleb for Christmas. They put a lot of extra effort into these bows and they turned out incredibly beautiful. Bows are 48", 25@24, with Cocobolo and Bocote risers and Bocote limbs. I'm just not a photographer and the picts don't even come close to doing these bows justice. They are beautiful! Thanks so much Dave and Tracey – I post some picts after Christmas of the boys with their bows!

Bernie B - I really can't take credit for the wood combo and the way they worked it in... Dave just asked what I liked and I mentioned those two woods and he said, "How about we do this..." and that's how it turned out. I think I'm more excited about giving them the bows then they'll be to get them. Well, maybe not. :)
Thanks for the nice comments and thanks again to Dave and Tracey from SJRB's. :thumbsup:
Chuck Thank you for letting me build them for you. It was fun seeing the woods come together.
Is it OK to be jealous :dunno:
Very Nice, they will like them for sure. Make sure to post the after math pictures with smiling kids.
Those are some lucky Grand kids,I'm sure they'll love them.
