That was my thought exactly
 

Can't go wrong with a B.W.

Peter, I don't know if that "plywood" will hold up on THE island.  Don't carry that thing down the street in Merrick or Massapequa (sp)

And fo Gods sake don't take it to Fire Island...
Its too pretty... if ya know what I mean.

Great bow.  Here is a slogan I gave the guys at Nixa last week:

"When you hear the Widow whisper, its too late" or something like that.

Hooray for plywood!!

Longstick and Big Ed those are both beautiful bows!  Awesome.

Now come on fellas, lets be true, the "Plywood Bows" are their "Base Models" ... Someone paid much more for "that" one ... Good Luck with her ...

Not only do they look good I find they shoot even better,something about a Widow.

I am a widow man as well!!! Congrats on a nice bow!!!

Big congrats friend!!! That's a fine specimen there! That Tulipwood has a nice "fiery" look to it to me. Love it.      

Just added another Widow to the stable the other day. Picked up a PERFECT SA X Osage. Must be of the earlier X bows with the Tri color tips like the grey arks and autumn oaks.

They are all plywood; just different species of wood and stains.  I wish they offered an option for a one piece wood handle, maybe with just one piece of glass reinforcement.  My guess is they need to laminate all that wood, phenolic and glass to get to that 3/16" past center riser cut without risking broken risers on higher weight bows.
All in all, they are a decent looking bow that shoots very well and is a close to bombproof as anything gets.
