Sweeeeet!

F-Manny

Manny we are some lucky guys to own one of Jims bows  

Post lots of pictures when it gets here .....

Coaster,

Can you post some more pictures of your Buffalo Bow?

Matt

J oles- I used to think walnut was heavy (back when I used it for projects) but compared to most of the woods used in bow making, it is very light and actually lighter than myrtle by a smidge. There isn't much weight in the wood that goes in the bow anyway. Added weight of veneers and riser if one were to use myrtle for instance would be aprox 12oz compared to a bow made entirely of Gaboon Ebony (not likely to happen)of about 24 0z.
Thanks,bigjim

Here are some pictures of my 60" Buff....

OK,OK,OK...quit being a bow hog Kip, Jim has to get back to the shop and build more bows for the ready made rack at the shoots this spring. seriously, nice bows

Hey Bow50- Yes it's true, that's why they call me BigJim (inside joke). I'm about to come up to the spot that had your name on it before you bought the used buffalo from me. Oh Well I guess someone else will end up with your bow!
By the way, What the heck did you say to my wife? She kept chanting...got to get a quiver out to Doug like she was posesed.
See ya soon, Bigjim

Speaking of Jim's Wife and quivers .... Look at the one Jims wife stitched-up for his bow    It is a buffalo quiver with a "stingray diamond insert"
Looks like a perfect match for Jim's Bow, what do you think  




Hmmmm, wonder what he would charge me for a California Rattler Skin insert? Should I mail the snake alive? I know he has his own way of doing things?

Jim, make up some bows for the in stock rack. I may need another one the next time I see you. I really like my Buffalo bow but those Thunderchild T/D are looking cool too. Barb is sending me a quiver but she didn't mention the cool shark skin one she made for you..hmmm. Barb is a hoot but I wouldn't want to work like Jim does to keep her happy, LOL. have a great hunt in Ill. hope you get a monster buck. see you and Barb this spring.

He is an artist, no doubt. Beautiful bows brother.
