I believe so, although I'm not real sure what the darker wood in the riser is though since I bought this bow used.

Jim sure makes some beautiful bows.

Very nice. Big Jim doesn't disappoint.

Wow!

The pics really don't do this bow justice! After having it outside shooting today and looking it over in the sunlight I had to wipe my drool off it with a towel. :p

Very nice!!

Thanks guys!

Danny - I consider myself very lucky to have found this one. It's 5# lighter than Gray Ghost which is exactly what I wanted and it's Tiger Myrtle which I also wanted. It wouldn't have been any different than if I had ordered it.

Kenneth: Awesome, Awesome Bow I like very much. Same veneers I want to order on a Thunder Child. Tiger Myrtle is so beautiful, I have on a couple of other bows. Hope you enjoy very much, shoot well Don

Kenneth- I believe that riser wood is walnut. I am going off of memory. The pics don't show enough detail for me to make it out on screen.

common woods I use (or suggest) with Tiger myrtle: Ziricoti, Walnut, Macassar.

There are others that would look good too, but have never gotten an argument out of any of those three.
thanks, bigjim

Kenneth I think that bows got relatives in California....Sweeeeeet!!!

Nice lookin bow!
I have always liked dark colors on a stick bow..that one is a beaut!

ckanous · January 29, 2011, 06:55:00 AM

I'm with Macatawa, I like darker colors also on bows. That is a sweet looking bow Kenneth. I thought you were holding off for a Annewakee. Don't blame you for pulling the trigger on this one and if it shoots as good as it looks you done good.

ckanous · January 29, 2011, 07:07:00 AM

I would have liked to sit back and watch this little traditional bow deal go down in the hood, did you have any arrows with ya? Lol

straitera · January 29, 2011, 08:57:00 AM

Jim, after getting it out in the sunlight I think its walnut too. It's a little too light to be Macassar or Ziricote.

You done good big guy!! Of course I wouldn't expect anything else from you!
