I'm on JD Berry's build list for a new Argos.

Funny how that works eh' Mike?  

I have six staves in the shed drying, no telling what I will end up with

Was on the phone with Greg yesterday and my slot on the Java Man build list is approaching the top.

Was initially planning on a Helms Deep, but talked myself out of that and into a 2-piece Elk Heart. Dyed curly maple veneers with a cocobolo and phenolic riser.

I need to make myself a new back quiver with a special internal compartment for the limbs. They will be shorter than my arrows

Always thought that 50's style recurve of yours looked pretty slick!
Talk yourself into building a new form, I,m betting a pretty sweet bow couldn't be too far out..

Put in an order yesterday with BigJim for a new Thunder Child.
Can't wait.

Got a Toelke Whip coming hopefully first week of January

already got a thanksgiving/xmas toelke whip that I like super much. In 2016 Feb is going to be my JD Berry Morningstar. Man I'm going to have so much headache picking my favourite!

The seeping influence and epic nature of Big Jim has evolved into a veritable flood of desire to pursue a coveted choice Thunderchild. My prudence has been betrayed by the captivating and alluring creations imbued by this masterfully skilled bowyer.

I've got a new Caribow Featherhorn on order. Looking forward to it although it will be a few months yet

I will let you know after the K-Zoo show.  I know that I will have to drop poundage.

Should have a Super Shrew being built now, and have an order waiting for a Rose Oak Ace. Thinking about sending a deposit in for a Silvertip... IF I don't bust the budget in the classifieds!    

The fun is all out of it up here in Canada with a low 70 cent dollar next to yours. Add in the duty at the border and most bow prices end up at 150%.

Being a bear for punishment, however, has me trying to figure out how to fund a Tolke something. Probably a Whip. Or a Pika. Or a Chinook. The only thing I know for sure - it won't be all three!

Hopefully my time will be coming up for a Silvertip in a few weeks.

Friend,

You will not regret it if you decide to order a Thunderchild.

I ordered a Fox Royal Crown a few weeks ago it should be here by the end of March. 58" & 47#@26" bacote/ paduk handle with juniper limbs and elm core. I'm pretty excited about it.

I ordered my first Balcktail. It is going to be a 66" Blacktail elite VL, Gaboon ebony and Rosewood in the riser with Myrtle and Rosewood limb veneers.

McBroom string follow on its way to me Monday.

I'm on the waiting list (to get on the build list) at vintage works bows for a 1962 Grayling Classic.


would love to find a used shrew in 2016 when the time is right too!

I've got a new to me Timberghost coming soon and a new Black River in a few months..!!

Received my Heritage T/D from Brandon late last year. Awesome bow. I'll Probably (well, maybe) not be in the market for another bow in 2016.
