Title: Black and White Widow revisited and #2
Post by: Will Cocke 2 on June 30, 2013, 08:09:00 PM
Black and white ebony has fast become my favorite wood, and as many of your know I love widow curves.  Last year I received one of the best looking and best shooting bows that I have ever owned. I also had one of the best years trad hunting that I have ever had.  Here is the bow and one of the deer I killed with it.

Well that brings us to the present.  I had another set of black and white ebony veneers and another piece of riser wood.  I wanted a 3 piece bow so i decided to build a PCHX.  The ebony was really dark compared to my other bow,hard to believe all these veneers came out of the same piece of wood.   I gave Toby a call and decided to add a phenolic cap to the front of the riser.  A 56" pchx 57@28 the widow boys hit weight dead on the number and this is how it turned out  "BLACK DEATH"

I absolutely agree with you.  Those are some of the best looking bows I've seen.  I can't wait to get my black and white ebony bow.

WELL the bad thing is I THOUGHT I was done with BW Ebony Widows,  However much to my dismay I was wrong. Toby called me a couple months ago said he had something I may be Interested in.  He knows I love BW ebony and widows.  Here is #3 in the making i bought the middle set for what  I think will make the best one Yet. Even got some curl in it Thanks Toby!!!  My Father In Law got a set also should be some real lookers and better shooters!!

Will, Will, Will what are we going to do with you (or better yet what is your wife going to do    :biglaugh: )!

Awesome bows, also looking forward to see what 2013 deer season brings to you and your brother in laws if the lord should tarry.

I couldn't figure out whether I like the bow or the buck best. Both are great specimens. You are a blessed man.

God bless, /Steve

His wife (my sister) knows no better.. she's dealt with her two brothers and her father all her life so she understands I promise        :D        

...HERES MY HIJACKING OF THE THREAD PIC. I can hijack b/c I'm one of his brother in laws                :cool:      
... my 2013 Rio with the 1st bow Will showed.. and Black Death is a looker (and shooter), too

in all seriousness, He does have an eye for good wood

I'm a big Widow fan... and those are two of the best looking Widows I have ever seen.

And I thought mine were gorgeous.

Nice deer too!

Wow, I have swore off buying bows for the past several months. I've even moved 7 to other folks. However, that BW Widow PA has me getting weak again!  

I'm thinking a 60" BW Ebony PAX would be a nice rig. It would have medium grip, 3-finger under tiller, and about 54@28" (48@26").  Yikes....too much thinking!

I'm six weeks too early ordering mine. Seeing your bow would have changed my wood selection. Very very nice !!!
