Thanks Bjorn I was fotunate to get this bow as it is in extremely good condition with no stress.
There is a name for that type of Bubinga grain also like your K-Mag in the middle but I can't remember what it is called.

This is what my bowyer calls "water fall" bubinga...or in his vernacular, "snakefight"

I guess all the wavey grain looks like a bunch of snakes to him!    :rolleyes:

Thanks Guys. The '63 Bears are my favorites in the looks department! The '63 Kodiak is also a GREAT shooter.

Yea me too Kadbow, I'm building on some ebony footed woodies now for my Black and White Ebony Widow and I think that I am going to make some up for the '63 as well.Winter time is wood arrow building time.
