I just got a lost Creek.  I really like it.  I am thinking about a heavier draw weight one.  Please post up pic's of your bows so I can see some of the wood combo's.

Walnut, osage and dymondwood

Here's a couple of mine:

Osage w/ walnut and red elm
 

Here's the same osage w/ walnut on the left; Cocobolo Dymondwood w/ osage limbs on the right

Nice one.  Do you have any better pic's showing off the walnut limbs?  I looks like they have some nice looking figure to them, but it is hard to tell.

J. Adams - looks like some differences in the riser and grip on those two bows.  What can you tell me about the differences in them?

The Osage longbow is 58" and 51@28.  
The Cocobolo longbow is 52" and 52@28.  

I had never owned a 52" longbow before, but I have become a fan of "short" longbows since owning this one.

What is your draw length on that 52", and do you shoot it split or three under?

I draw 28" and I shoot split.  I do believe that if my draw were any longer I would probably start to encounter some "pinch" with that 52-incher.

Ok I know there are more than three out there.

here's my 52" Lost Creek, Burgundy Rosewood Dymondwood riser with red elm limbs:



And me with my 56", 43# Lost Creek from last season, Charcoal dymondwood with Bocote limbs:

That rose wood diamond wood looks real nice.  Thanks for the pic's.  How do you like the 52" compared to the 56" you had last year?

I've owned 3 bows in the 52-54" range, including this one - the others were a Fedora and a Shrew.  The Lost Creek is easily the most shootable of the three.  That being said, it's still a bit touchy compared to the 56".  Not that the 52" is a bad shooter, it's just not as forgiving as the 56", which is one of the most shootable bows I've ever owned.

Chad keep up the good work. I just wish you would build a 2 pc T/D....would be nice for travel ???  Hint.....

Bow #1 Lost Creek 56" 48@28 (super fast and not spine sensitive at all)







Bow #2 Unique, This is the bow that I won here on TRAD GANG....64" 49@28 It has a black finish and is a real shooter. It is the quietest bow I own. The finish was such a pain Chad says he won't do it again.

                                                                                                This is one of Will Speeters bows I built him . Charcoal Black dymondwood with bamboo limbs.

                                                This is Dennis's bow manyletters on this site. 60"48 @28 Burly Osage Black Riser.

What?!  No more Uniques?!  Say it ain't so!!!
  :eek:

It's a one of a kind, Coaster 500 won the only Lost Creek Unique. The finish was a four step process and was a hassle. I will keep the bows gloss or a hand rubbed satain finish from here on out. Sorry, maybe you could talk Coaster500 out of his, then again probally not, it is an original!!
