Just got back from Black Widow.  What a great bunch of people. Ken and Roger spent most of the morning helping me test shoot bows and giving me a few form pointers.  Roger let me shoot his personal PCH X and I couldn't put it down.  I ordered mine in Curly Bubinga.  Oh Happy Day!!  

Happy Day indeed!! Wish I lived closer and could tour the plant. I shot Roger's PCH at Bear Camp last year. Great little bow, I have one coming very close to his. Ed

You know, I was just going to look for an old PCH thread I said I would put pictures in.  One of the guys at my club has this Brazilian Rosewood/Tiger Myrtle PCH.  It is 44# @ 28" and it is a lot nicer than the pictures show!

Sweet looking bow!!!

Good, good.

Brazilian Rosewood with Tiger Myrtle PCHX will be headed to Kansas City in about a week (Asbell grip).  Woods were not my first choice, but after looking at a bunch of bows, well, they are now. Mine is 55 at 28".   I am thinking of an other set of limbs, maybe 50 at 28" - Curly Maple?

SWEET!!

Mel,

Having viewed a LOT of the vaneers going to the Widow boys from my buddy Mike's shop, I think some of the waterfall Bubinga would look good--real good.  Some figured Osage would set it off just right IMO too.

I am also thinking of Yew - some nasty Yew with quite a bit of character.

Irish, my PCHX should be here next week as well.  I got curly maple limbs so be sure to watch for some pictures.  I'm so pumped...Mike

By the way, Hawk did you happen to see a Pau Ferro/Curly Maple PCHX in the almost done stages while there???

Yeah, it shot great!  Just kidding.  The guys were very busy building and my 8 year old son and I were like kids (I guess he is a Kid) in a candy store.

looks great mine is about 2 weeks away...hmmmm

I would like to have a chance to visit BW shop,most of the new veneers are really remarkable,when it will be my time I'll have hard time for choosing one.

Steve,
    I ordered a PCH-X the last week of Feb with Waterfall Bubinga limbs and Brazilian Rosewood and Bamboo riser. No red on the bow at all. I go back next week for the riser block assembly.
    The only thing that has worries me is the shorter bow OAL. I shot a short bow in the 70's,  had stack and pinch issue. I have shot 60 to 64 inch since. I shot for 2 hours at BW started with 58" and worked down to 54" NO PROBLEMS. Still makes ya nervous.

Here are pics of some curly bubinga limbs on my PTFX.

Mark,your veneers are like a piece of fine furniture,very very nice.

Just when I thought I was finally over "I got to get a new bow" dis-ease, some one posts a pic of an absolutely beautiful new bow....
