Javaman WOW

[Bladepeek]

My Elk Heart will be in the woods this fall. Shooting several bows right now, but another month and they will all get put away except for the Elk Heart and some serious practice.

My 2-Piece Java Man Elk Heart:

This isn't making the wait any easier. But fun to look.

Javaman ... Great s bows... GREG

[59Alaskan]

I like the looks of the Falcon XL.  I poked around for reviews.  They sure are lookers, but wouldn't mind finding out more about their performance.  Gregg has a great reputation that's for sure.  Next time I am up that way I will see if I can stop by his shop.  I am in that general area a bit.

I like longer bows, but am not a Hill Style fan...yet...but I hear people get bit by bugs that cause that disease

[Chain2]

I shot one. If it would have been heavier I might have bought it. Very smooth. Excellent grip.

[Matty]

I'm on the "short list" as well. Waitin on a black and white Ebony Helms deep! Can't wait!

PDK25,
The bow is 56", 50# @ 28".The riser is Katalox, the core is bamboo and Uniweft, the lams Tamo ash.

One thing I need to do is learn all these bow woods. I'm a carpenter I know spruce, pine, for, hemlock, oak, maple, ash, poplar etc. you guys talk about wood and wood types it's like your speaking Mandyrin Chinese to me

[Birdbow]

Chain2, funny you should say that, the tamo ash is a Japanese wood!

Haha my dad is the same way. Been a carpenter for 55 years. And he would say the same thing being in trad bows has totally made me a wood geek. Love the stuff. And combinig them. Omg. You should check out the wood database. Hours of entertainment.

X2, I have never heard of a lot of those mentioned and surely do not know what they look like.

Very nice!

[KyStickbow]

Gregg's bows are fantastic! I am back on the list for another Elkheart.

[Jwilliam]

It would be hard to find a better guy then Gregg Coffey. He makes some pretty darn nice bows as well !!!          

[Stump73]

Beautiful bows!

[Big Ed]

Gregg is one of the best for sure. I'm on the list coming up at the end of this month. Thinking about a Falcon XL Phenolic handle with all Yew limbs to match my Elkheart. Decisions,decisions!

[Chain2]

I started thinking I wanted wood(s) indigenous to my area. Maple, walnut, or elm but I did see some myrtle that caught my eye. I like Osage but I probably couldn't pick it out of a line up

[Steve O]

Glowing yellow Osage you probably could pick out of a line up!  A bow of Michigan native wood is a great idea. Gregg won't let you down whatever you decide. I've known him close to 20 years now; excellent bowyer but even an even better man.

[Bladepeek]

I don't think phenolic is native to Michigan, but curly maple definitely is    

Greg used some beautiful maple veneers for my Elk Heart and stained them with some hickory dye to get the dark, slightly reddish color I wanted. It's almost like camo in the woods. He used some fancy cocobolo at my request for the riser, but some highly figured walnut would have worked just as well and would have been native to the area.

Greg will work with you and has a great artistic talent to go with his technical ability.
