I picked up my bow today, made from all Michigan wood !
I'm one happy camper !
I am not a photographer, I just couldn't get the pics to show the true beauty of this bow, but here it is !

The woods are birds eye maple, spalted maple and Osage,

Outstanding work there Chuck  

HEY Dan! It was sure nice to chat with you and Kai yesterday. The pics look good and I can't wait for your feed back on shooting it in.
The bow is indeed another "Pure Michigan" bow for a fellow Michiganian. Here is the skinny:
60" 50#@28"
Figured Birdseye Maple back,light hickory stain,to pop the eyes out.
Spalted Hard Maple belly,
Osage and Black Walnut core,
Osage and Figured Birdseye Maple I-Beam riser,Full custom contour grip with Goat skin leather wrap. 10 strand D-97 string by CTT(sorry Josh,thought I had one in stock). Thank you very much Dan. Have fun and send me some field Pictures.

Beautiful bow you have there, and I too can attest to Chuck's fine workmanship.  

I bought a RER LXR, which has an awesome grip, but I wear the green ARMY wool gloves that need some kind of frictiion to keep from slipping, and the clear finish just wasn't cutting it.  So I got ahold of Chuck and he took the riser home with him at The Kzoo show, and a couple days later I received the perfect addition to my riser.  He had put on a leather grip for me, and all I told him is that I didn'y want white or black leather, but somewhere in the middle color.  When I opened the box, I revealed a color scheme of leather that was the same color as the 2 things in my life that bring me the most comfort...My leather recliner and Red Wing boots, so how could I go wrong.  

I love the job, the stitching is fantastic, and it now is also on my list of most comfortable things in my life.

Chuck didn't make the bow I bought, he made the bow I bought...BETTER.

I have come to realize in life there are things that you just shouldn't attempt, and installing a leather grip, to me, is on that list.  I'm glad I had Chuck do this for me.

Looks like a great shooter. Nice Chuck.

Do you build pure Buckeye bows? Now that would mean something south of the border. I guess we wouldnt want the wood sent to michigan to be built tho. Might cause it to twist and crack!    
You'd have to travel

Nice Job

Chuck makes a good bow and is a good person to boot. I really like that Michigan bow and woods he used. Hope to own one of them one day.
