In the words of Big Jim via e-mail today     the waiting is almost over....

As for woods etc, i told him he has free reign over that, I like dark woods and I want something that will blend in in the woods for hunting, but he gets too choose the final look!   I have faith in his taste as  a craftsman and I am so looking forward to seeing what he comes up with!  

So feel free to tease me with pics of your thunderchildren to ease the pain of waiting    

I am sure you will be happy with what ever Big Jim comes up with. Cant wait to see some pics.

Jim makes some nice looking bows  

My TC. Ironwood, beavertail grip, a rather attractive bow.

I love my TC. They are outstanding bows, What weight and length are you getting?

Thanks for the pic Centaur!  very nice!
Swinestalker:
I have asked Big Jim to make a bow in the length that will be smoothest for my 29" draw.. 50 to 52# draw weight. Good enough to hunt just about anything I will be hunting...
Two piece with beaver tail grip...  Other than that I have left it entirely up to him...  

Well, Leaving the details to an artist like Big Jim can only be a wise descision!
