I got my new Silvertip on Monday. Here are the specs:
14in riser with his longest limb making a 58" bow. Its 54@28. When Dave and I planned this last June 2014 he said he has never done a bow with that combo and said "that would be a Rocket." Hence the name, The Rocket. So the stage was set. I told Danny about it. So he jumped on the order too. So I have 1 and he has 2.
Macasser Riser with BW Ebony crescents. Checkered with Daves finest checkering, leaf carving, and a Mastadon Ivory inlay. I mailed Dave some Eland Horn since he said he never used that before. Eland Horn up both sides of the riser. Compass in the riser too.
Limbs are Exhibition Grade Walnut Burl on the face and Karelian Birch Burl on the belly of the limbs. Limb cores are Bamboo. Tips and overlays are Eland with BW Ebony underneath. Limb wedges are BW Ebony too.
Beth has some limbs in stock with my veneers if you want to know what it looks like. They were limbs Dave missed weight on.
I will let Danny post pics if he can. Maybe of his bow again too since its a Rocket.
Oh wow! Sounds amazing! Would really like to see that one!
Congrats on the new bow... Their bows are functioning art for sure and shoot as well as they look.
Sounds like another looker Keith
Congrats
I will get some pics up in a bit bro.
I 'llreceive rocket #3 a Little late on my order.
A little teaser of Keith's Bow!

I want sure if you were still going with Rocket #3 or not Felix. I know it was delayed a bit cuz you couldnt decide on wood choices. What are you going with? Still using the Eland like me and Danny?
Keith I dunno if it is still available, I really would like that Mastodont ivory. In the riser I went with Gabon matched with a Thuja burl Crescent.
here are a couple of pics of Keiths bow. The Rocket 1

Not quite as fancy as Keiths but I love it.
They both look to be some bad boys! Both stunning. I love Ebonies not only beautiful but they add mass.
Thanks Danny! I agree Felix. Love the mass from the Ebonies.
Very nice!
Wow!!!
Keith and Danny true RocketMen.....
Those are some awesome looking Bows!
Shoot straight guy's :thumbsup:

Very nice, Guys, great craftsmanship, and great design build...you "created" them, Dave put the ideas to life..way to go.
Off the charts! Masterpiece sticks.
Those are some beautiful bows gentlemen! Thanks for sharing!
Kenny
Danny, if you get a chance could you please post a pic or two of your bow strung ?
Wow the bows are beauties
Stunning! Simply awesome fellas. Congrats!!
Very very nice!!! I have never seen a Tip with the double flare; looks awesome!
Speechless.
They look absolutely Stunning --Still waiting on mine -- ordered last Oct. It's gonna have all the bells and whistles too.
Talked to Beth the other day, said they will start on it in 2 wks. Can't wait--It'll be like Christmas !! :biglaugh:
It's a beauty!!!! Good luck with it!!
They are great looking bows. Beauties to be exact. But personally I wouldn't have a compass put in that gorgeous riser. Kind of detracts from the looks. JMO. Best of luck with them. :thumbsup:
My God ! That is one beautiful bow,Kieth your up there with Danny and Felix.The specs are exaxctly what right LOL
Steve,
Keith is way ahead of me, you should see some of his bows with the silver inlays, he has some stunning Tips.
Absolutely stunning!! :clapper:
Those are beauty's.
Here are a few more pics of Keiths bow, showing the vaneers an a comparison between the 14" riser and 15" riser. As well as the eland on the front and back of riser.

WoW those are beautiful. I really like those bear and mountain lion coins too.
beautiful bows! I'm more of a meat and potatoes kind of guy for my hunting bows but that's just because I'm so hard on them. I truly appreciate a work of art like yours.
Wow. those are stunning!
I already said it but that double flare just looks amazing!!! Look at those joints!!!!
And that Karelian Birch Burl veneer is wicked cool.
Thanks Joe. I bought the veneers at Denton Hill last year. They look like a cross between flames and bear tracks.
The double crescent option was my idea. I asked Beth about it. She went back in the shop to ask Dave and came back and said, "Dave said he can do anything" and laughed. I sent a pic of one of my Bighorn risers as an idea and he took it from there.
So lots of first on our bows for Dave. Eland Horn, the short riser/long limb combo, and the double crescent.
One thing for sure, I think if u come up with an idea, Dave and Beth can do it. These bows are amazing works of art. I use all my bows to hunt with. Hard.
Stunning, awsome workmanship, Dave is one talented bowyer.
Denny
Yep, they were made to hunt with, all of mine see time in the woods and even the jungle here on Guam.
Amazing bows fellas!
I'm a sucker for dave's bows
That really does look good. I would love to see that riser layup in one of the longer risers too. Very nice Keith.
Almost gaudy but not quite. Id bet if anyone but Dave made a bow with so many customizations it would look too over the top. This looks classy and shows that Dave is the epitome of an artist.
I love the ivory inlays, Im thinking on getting a Magua portrait inlayed into my next Tip.
WOW, very nice!!!!
I'd like to see more pics of them in the sunlight when y'all get a chance.
Amazing bows Keith and Danny, truly art! You guys have a great eye for matching woods and horn. Best of luck with them guys.
Wow! Beautiful bows!
Wowee! Nice lookin bows
Where did you fellas get those inlays? Were they supplied by the Windauers or did you have to provide them yourselves? Im thinking about getting something on the one I have on order.
Simply stunning gentleman!!
Dave does all of it. My silver inlays are done by my neighbor.
:thumbsup: :notworthy:

Thanks Keith, got some info from Beth today.
Nice! I'll own another Tip one day (hopefully).
I think I've looked at this thread 5 times today. Those bows look amazing.
Sweet bows! :thumbsup:
Thanks guys. The Rocket performs well. I made a perfect 30 yd shot on a PA 5 point with the first arrow at an animal. I cant believe how it performs.
I also shot a MD 6 point with my Silver Paws Silvertip on Thanksgiving morning. Love those Tips.

Top of the line for sure. Incredible wood combos and the engraving adds a degree of class. Congrats!
