Just a heads up that Tradgang member Richie has posted the photos of the BW PTFX Zircote Riser and Myrtle Burl limbs on the "Need Help Posting Pics" thread .
Thanks for looking
Good looking bow Greybark. Can't post on that thread since it got moved to the computer forum.
I like the Zircote and the bow. Just ordered a 62" PTF-X last wk. with Zircote. I want an almost black color and Toby said he had some real dark.
Hey Hoyt , that dark Zircote will be very nice . Are the limb veneers Zircote also ?
Looking forward to photo`s .
PS . I hope Adminitration can join the two threads (compution section) here . Two TG`s Sponsers are being left out ...
Thanks Mike , thoght I was confused before . Now two treads both going opposite directions . Hopefully Adm can straighten this out .Since two of the TG Sponsers are mentioned and a bows pics are involved I hope for one main thread of "greybark`s Bow Pics "
I certainly apogise to Adm and TG members for this mix up .
Here are the pictures again.

Ken, the limbs veneers will be a hair lighter shade of Zircote with bamboo cores. Riser will have real fine pinstripe accent of red and some black mixed with the zircote.
That's a very nice looking bow!
The bow is a BW PTFX 62in and 48Lb @ 28in .
The Zircote riser in the shade has arich dark colour and in sunlight lightens up with a nice meandering grain and takes on an almost transparent look .I sure underestimated the beauty of Zircote and the thin bamboo laminations (no red) enhances the classic lines of this style of riser .Rodger and Toby at Black Widow (TG Sponsers) suggested the Zircote as it would be a nice contrasting match with the limbs.Boy were they right .
The Myrtle Burl limb veneers came from another TG Sponser IdahoCurt and with the mixture of burls , swirls , curls and some spault are a delight to look at . The veneers match front and back with the figuring and colour run the full length of the limbs .
Curt was pleseant and patient and was enthusiastic with his appreciation of nice highly figured woods .
Like most bow photos on here the pics do not do justice to the bow .
The "Customer first " attitude and Rodger`s and Tobys patience is appreciated .
Black Widow and IdahoCurt a match up made for one very happy Canuck ..
Cheers all...
Very nice !!! :notworthy:
Bill

Beautiful Bow..!..Nice wood combo.
Yikes!!Very nice
Shes a beaut.
That's one beautiful bow. Let us know how she shoots. :archer2:
nice...very nice.
Awesome
Whatta beauty. :thumbsup:
I have done quite a bit of shooting with this bow including two 3-d`s . I must say the bow shoots as good as it looks .
Mind you I dropped five pounds draw weght 53 to 48 but the launch angles with GT 35-55s are the same as my heavier bows . Darn it I wish I wasn`t so stubborn as dropped that weight years ago .LOL
Cheers from the Westcoast of Canada...
Sharp Sharp Widow! very unique woods.
Real nice.
This one really makes the cut... Really, not often is something beautiful.
Excuse me ..As far as bows go in my taste..
Very nice looking bow!
