Last time I talked to Jim he had some of the cocobolo left (see first pic on his website) that has heartwood and sapwoood. Beautiful.

Me....my next bow will be all domestic hardwoods, specifically kentucky woods for added mojo.

[dave19113]

Coco back, osage belly, riser osage and coco





A looker, but most important, the best shooter I've ever had

Jim sure makes some pretty bows

Nice looking bow Frenchy! Bet she hits pretty hard too. I love the heck outta that Osage!  

[Frenchymanny]

Thanks friend, she really hits hard!
At 60# at my 27" draw she does launch my 760 grs arras with authority!

And the osage is getting nicer by the day

I have a 1pc that'll be done in a couple weeks that has Ziricote riser with black and white ebony stripe and Dalmation ebony limbs.  I have a 2pc. on order that's gonna be Macassar ebony and Zebrawood combo.  And I'm probably gonna order another one piece with all WV woods (Walnut, Sugar Maple, and White Oak) or maybe I'll go for the cheapest ugliest wood he can find and have him camo dip it.  Hmmm.... so many decisions.

I have been told that his bows are really fast...... And shoot very well for the money.... I think that cocbola is the wood i am goin with......Now the problem exists on waiting the 18 weeks.........

It will be worth the wait to get what you want!

I have been admiring Big Jim's bows for a long time and have saved quite a few pictures in my searches.

With Jim's permission I am posting a link to a slide show. It displays some of Jim's great work.

I have two bows on order and can't wait to get my hands on them.

Enjoy, I do it helps the wait go faster
