Title: Birthday bow!
Post by: Shane C on April 15, 2014, 04:19:00 PM
So, I contacted Wes a while ago to order a new bow. I told him I wanted a cocobolo riser and veneers because I love the looks of the wood. Well, I called him about a week ago and he said it was finished up. He said the cocobolo on this bow was awesome and if I didn't like the looks of it to just send it back to him because he would be more than happy to keep it for his own personal collection. He said he shot three arrows out of it and all three had the feathers touching.  :D    Well, it finally showed up yesterday (day before my birthday) and I opened the package and man was this a nice looking bow! I've owned a few and this is probably the prettiest I've owned.

Here are the specs:
Wes Wallace mentor
Cocobolo riser
macassar ebony accent stripe
bamboo limb core
cocobolo veneers
Macassar ebony wedges
Not sure of the type of antler used...
64" 50@28

I have a LH 66" one piece on order - the riser is pretty much the opposite.  I asked for Macassar ebony with the stripe in a cocobolo like that.
Hopefully mine looks as nice as yours, but I'm sure it will.    :D

Thanks guys! It's a looker for sure! Plus, it shoots as good as it looks.

Florida lime: my other bow from Wes is just like yours on order (except right handed) .
