I just had to share a pic of the new 59 Bigriver I`m spraying for John. He made it for my friend Dave Ricke (knifemaker) What a beauty John made with Dave`s cocobolo piece. Had to share.

Wow Brian. That is very Nice. I am sure Dave will have a matching knife :readit: :cool:
Brian, that is beautiful!
Coco bola and Maple......my favorite combo.
I'm sure that Dave will be very pleased.
That's a beauty.

Yes, one of the best riser woods and a nice looking piece!
I have a Good Medicine T/D from Dale Dye--Coco with an accent stripe of golden brown Osage. FINE! Having a matching one piece made that will be Osage with an accent of Coco. Cocobola...looks like chocolate tastes!
Very nice!!
Wow...that's a really nice looking bow..!
Cocobolo is one of my favorites.......That's a nice one!!
I love it too. That and waterfall bubinga are two of my all time favorite woods.
Great stuff.
Hey GD, I've never seen any "waterfall Bubinga". Got any pics ??? Horserod
That is surely a classy rig!
Beautiful bow.
Nice wood contrast there.
That spray job isn't too shabby either.
Stunning!Well done Brian.
Is that Birdseye maple? I sure love Cocobolo, very classy. I like bubinga too, I own a bow with waterfall Bubinga limbs, hard to beat that!
However my last bow has a Bacote/Wenge riser and bacote limbs. That's also unbelieveable!
That's he nice thing about wood....each wood has its own beauty...
I'm a fan also. It's also a dense wood and adds the weight that I like in the risers.
Stunning!Well done Brian.
Beautiful. Love the gloss finish really highlights the grain. The matching knife Ricke must be making to compliment the bow should be fantastic.
The only knife Dave carries is a pocket knife, except when hunting. Dave just made a takedown recurve for me with bubinga and curley maple. It looks great and shoots better; especially with Brians finish.

That is a pretty bow!
