Pictures of beautiful Big Jim Thunderchilds, that is.  

Jim finished up my bow just before he left town for a week or so, and I got it in the mail yesterday.  Great attention to detail.

       

       

       

       

       

       

     

     

As alot of my friends know, I have been anticipating this bow for some time now. Big Jim has recently changed his wait time from 6 month to 10 months.  If he made it 12 months, I think that it would be well worth it.  I won't bore you with shot pictures, but let's just say that the bow does it's job and then some.  Very quiet and smooth.  Everyone has their own opinions, and I will give my honest ones.  

I think that he did a great job on the moose antler overlays, with very smooth transitions.  For MY taste, the veneers are the nicest that I have ever seen, period.  That includes the ones that are posted on Big Jim's site.   I asked for very highly figured tiger myrtle and that is just what I got.  The takedown system is tight, with no noise and is very convenient and I love the beavertail wrap that is very well done.  The riser is made just as I asked and is beautiful.
 
If I had to do it over again, the only thing that I would change is that I would have asked for darker colored laminations on the riser to go along with the Zircote.  I hope that everyone else will be as pleased with their bows when they get them as I am.  I don't think that there is another bow out there for the money that can touch this.

Oh yeah TOTALLY Patrick!!!! You can just send it my way since it's making you ill....
