I'm not good with woods, but there is one in your riser that is one of the nicest looking colors/patterns I've ever seen.  The one twords the heel of the grip, that is georgeous.

That's cocobolo. Steve said it was one of the nicer pieces he'd seen. The black is ebony. I think I'm developing a nervous twitch waiting on it to arrive!  

If I could just get an address on this package. (LOL)  

Hey Andy that is a beautiful bow.  Sixby does some kind of spectacular work. Should you ever get tired of it I don't live that far away, shoot I might even come pick it up to save you shipping it to me. LOL

Andy: Great looking Bow, Hope you enjoy and your arrow flys straight and true. Don

Incredible...I absolutely love that longbow and the concealed takedown system is perhaps the nicest approach I've ever seen.

Congrats on your new bow and congrats to Sixby for creating such a phenomenal bow!

Gah, Steve you kill me man.  What's worse is you'll probably put out pictures before I ever get it.  The two weeks minimum delivery to my APO is a killer I'm still waiting for a book I ordered Dec 17th.

Anyways I can't wait to see what you do.

...and to think, just today I was talking about what a great bunch of folks frequent this forum!  :mad:    :D

Package on the way Andy. Probably about three days. God bless you for your patience Bro. I cannot imaging waiting for some slow bowyer to get me a custom bow for three whole months. It would drive me nuts. I really appreciate your patience. God Bless You , Steve

Blake I have been doing some dreaming on your bow Bro. It will be cool. God Bless you, Steve

it really is a superb looking bow.the limbs attaching to the riser blends right in as if its a one piece almost.this a really beaut of a bow.congrats on your new bow.

Three WHOLE months!  

wow that is a great looking longbow!!!

Steve that's almost cruel man.  A couple month wait followed by the time it takes for the Army Post Office here in Germany to deliver.

At the same time I think bows turn out best when you give just a couple of things you want done and then let the bowyer have artistic freedom.

That is one of the things that has kept me looking at Sixby's bows for a couple years now.  His fit and finish along with artistic creativity are fantastic.  I can't wait to see what he does with my Talon.

nothing like a new bow to brighten a day

Beautiful bow Andy.


Nice work Sixby.

How DARE there be a holiday when my bow is in transit??!!   :mad:    (kidding)  :D

Funny  

If this holiday will promote the content of character of which Dr King spoke so eloquently, then it will not be observed in vain.

Woo hoo! Bow came today, and the pictures don't do it justice. This bow is TONS more beautiful in person!!  At 69#, it is admittedly, too heavy for me, presently; however, I can draw it to full draw without over-exertion and the first three arrows from 15 yards were within 1" of each other. I only shot 15 arrows, but I'm already in love. By the end of the summer, I won't even be thinking about this bow's draw weight! Steve, you da man! Thank you, sir.
