I wanted a one of a kind bow and that's exactly what I got . I couldn't be happier. A thing of beauty and it shoots just as good as it looks..
THIS ONE'S MY SPEARCHUCKER . 23/64 cedar only.
Can't wait to slay some fury critters with it.

That is one fine bow! I really like the wood combos, and that horn overlay really completes the package! Congrats on a great bow.
Thanx buddy . I knew if anyone could make the buckeye work it would be Big Jim. The overlay is Impala. Gonna slay lots of bunnies with this beauty. X_x
Very nice!
Extremely good looking bow,congratulations!
Yep,gorgeous !!
very interesting bow
I've seen it in knife handles, but this is the first time in a bow. Buckeye makes it lucky as well. Very Nice.
Wow!!!!!
Very cool!!!!!
That is really nice!
Outstanding
Wow!
Holy moly!!! The Big Guy has really outdone himself. I tell ya, 2014 has seen some really spectacular sticks from our bowyers. I only have a couple bows planned for the foreseeable future i.e 2015, and I will say a TC like this is likely one of them.
That is one beautiful bow! I'm curious, has the buckeye burl been stabilized? I really like the woodsy, earthy depth of this wood. What are the limb veneers made from? They, along with the horn, really compliment the buckeye burl.
Thanks for sharing this with us, Mike. Enjoy shooting that beauty!
Truly one of a kind!
Saw this a little while back on FaceBook. It is truly an awesome wood on an incredible bow.
holy cow that is a thing of beauty, congrats :thumbsup:
@mmgrode the buckeye was stabilized with Turn Tex "CACTUS JUICE" as far as the limbs I think they are an end cut of B/W ebony but when big Jim was trying to tell me about them I was to busy flapping my gums to listen.
Cool stuff, Mike. I might have to look into this to use on my bows as well. Very cool bow!
That is one BEAUTY of a bow :thumbsup:
Wow. That's pretty dang sweet.
:scared:
That's neat!
Beautiful bow!
I already have a knife with the handle made of that wood. I think this would be a good combo.....hmmmmmmmmm!
Beautiful bow, definitely a one of a kind, for sure.
Best of luck with it.
Real nice. :thumbsup:
She's a real beauty!!!
Now that is cool!!!
Buckeye tree wood? If so very pretty, thanx for sharing.... Never heard of anything made from buckeye...
Wow I like this its way over the top I thought all mine were drop dead now this wood comes by. Hint Jim.
This would make a perfect companion. I may have to check into Big Jim's waiting list

That is a great looking bow!!! :clapper: :clapper:
Amazing bow. Congrats
A dream bow!!!
Never saw that wood in a riser before...I like it!!!
@ awbowman that is a good lookin knife you got there .. I have a 1945 Legitimus Collins and Co. machete I plan on making a matching handle for. As for Big Jim ,good luck , He kinda tried to talk me out of it But I bought and stabilized the pieces myself and shipped them to him "peer pressure" :knothead: I guess I'm just a pain in the ass when I want something but I searched and searched and everything I found said it couldn't or shouldn't be done . Big Jim is the exception so HATS OFF TO HIM :clapper:
Hopefully I'll be posting pics of CRITTER KABOBS in the next couple days.. ;)
Definitely SHARP as a tack!
This bow has a thick I beam of woven glass...the wood is now mostly garninsh.
thanks,
BigJim
That is a beauty!
