well...i made a three way deal for my griffin and now i'm on the centaur list for a bow thats almost paid for.i'd like to see some pics of yours so i can make up my mind on woods.i am tossing some combo's around..cocobolo handle with juniper limb lams with boo core...ebony handle with juniper and boo with horn tips and horn on handle..build time is three weeks..cannot wait..not sure if i want carbon or not.input and pics would be great, thanks.  

Had em all.. IMO, get a Chimera, best of both. You get the benefit of twp strips of carbon, plus a pretty veneer to look at when time is slow on stand.. speaking of some Cocobolo and Juniper, here's one of mine. 58" 54@28 Chimera w/ Cocobolo and Chechan riser, a Tecovas Jasper knapped head that Jim inlayed for me. Western Juniper belly, Bighorn Sheep grip, tip and thumbrest overllays. Stippled grip a must. Pics don't do her justice.

 
 
 
 

Here's some pics of my Chimera. Nothing fancy, just a great bow. I went with black glass on the belly. I may miss a deer walking by if I had a pretty veneer on the belly.

Froggy,I love that.

snag...what grip is that on yours? high? med?

Larry, get carbon. That Centaur I had was pretty fast for 50# and I now wish I hadn't gotten rid of it.  

Larry, I told him I liked a recurve grip...I believe it is what he would call a high grip. It is a medium grip in my eyes. It works no matter what I call it!

A few to check out. I'm partial to Cocobolo and Yew. My next one will be a 60" Chimera, Cocobolo and Yew.

My...my Michael you've been busy!!! Did you have that many back when we were talking ACS's?

Man are they purty!  :eek:
