Wow, that is a great looking Zipper!!! I have a zipper that will be shipping in a few days. I can't wait, and this post is not helping in that area....LOL

Congrats on a great looking Bow!

Thats a stunner!

Great wood combo there and the skins really touch it off.  You cannot question Bills bow building talent...he is second to none.

Good luck with it and the special broadhead.

That is one video I would have to have.I really did not think these two woods woould look this great together.Boy was I wrong!!

Charlie your bow will be shipped on monday.I gotta say its looks will rival Tom's bow.It is also gorgous.Over the years there have been several bows that I have hated to see go.The woods just worked so good together but never this many stunning wood combo. in one month.

Allen, I'll try and put into words my thought process on putting together a bow. I have always liked brown tones in a bow and knew I wanted the copperhead skins. I also don't like light colors due to these are hunting weapons for me and I know a critter sees something light while moving before they will detect something dark in movement. Hence the reason the deer has a whitetail. Anyway back on track.  I think the key to what (I think) is a good looking bow is not to get woods that are too contrasting. Subtle contrasts are good.

After all that it's really up to the talent of the bowyer to make it happen the way it is in your mind due to variations in the same species of woods. That is the most important reason I think of why you should pick out your own woods. If you don't convey what you are after they really can't make your dreams come true. Bill should get all the kudos here as he took my mental picture and brought it to life. I will have to say Big Jim is in my opinion one of the best at making bows the way I like to see them put together. He is a true genius when it comes to designing bows and matching up woods.

Nice looking bow TJ! The comparison pic of the Morrison and Zipper are interesting (I've never shot either brand). While the bows look very different the face of the grips (where your hand sits) appear extremely similar.

These pictures make it tough on a guy trying to swear off any more brands. I can't do skins in my house. My wife would have it on the floor beating the tar out of it with a broom.

I will say, I wish the foam cores in the limbs came in readily available different colors. If those grey cores would have been a tan color matching the bocote stripes shuweeee.

Bill told me he built a sister long bow to this one for his own personal bow. This is his new design. Bill post some picts of it when you get a chance.

Beautiful Bow,Bill does excellent work.Congrats.

Beautiful bow...congrats.

So Bill, how much fun did you have finishing that wenge    ?

Awesome, Great Job Bill !!!!

You know TJ....You've had quite a few "new bow" days this year    

Congrat's buddy, love the wood combo's!

The big questions is..."Which one are you carrying this weekend"?   :rolleyes:

Tim, I'm done with new bows.         I have found all the "right ones for me" I need. Going tonight and this weekend when I can. Here's what's in my back seat.
