KentuckyTJ, it's going to be 18" all Bocote riser with actionwood limbs with Bocote venners and antler tips.

KentuckyTJ · October 29, 2009, 09:12:00 PM

Brian sent my limb picts tonight, here they are unfinished of course. I requested some dark Bocote grain lams and he has delivered. Gray dymondwood tips with black phenolic and Redheart underneath to tie them into the riser.

Sweet!! I'm sure it will look even better when it has some finish on it!!

That inlay work looks cool

twitchstick · November 08, 2009, 12:08:00 AM

Looks like it will be a looker. A head from you father collection will be good mojo.

LoweBow · November 08, 2009, 07:54:00 AM

Nice Tom....I'm anxious for you! Great lookin bow!

billy shipp · November 08, 2009, 09:59:00 AM

Now that is just too cool TJ.

It came out great, but then again, there was never any doubt knowing who was doing it.

The arrowhead alone makes the bow special to you, but the bow will take on a whole new meaning after you finally start shooting it.

Congrats !!!!!

Dang Tom,
Like them Kentucky bucks didn't have enough to be worried bout already..... Now with this beauty, they are in it really deep !!!. A fine looking piece for sure.

Froggy, I'm not so sure, I missed a doe the other night at 18 yards. Shot right over her back. I had grunted to stop her and I think she ducked the arrow by the time it arrived, but none the less I shot over her. Brian told me when my TallTines arrived my missing days were over, haha. (He didn't really say that for those of you with no sense of humor).

Looks a lot like a Silvertip - very nice!

TJ, I hope you didn't miss with one of my strings on your bow!! That's not allowed

Dont' worry, it happens to the best of us.

KentuckyTJ · November 09, 2009, 04:07:00 PM

Allen, I didn't, I missed with the Silvertip and it has a Rod Jenkins string on it. I guess I'll have to send you another $15. By the way our own Allen Shafer (A.S.) makes some of the nicest flemish twist padded loop strings I've ever used. He made me one for this new bow.

Brian called me today. She has shipped, should be here Wednesday or Thursday. He tried to talk me out of it. I think that's a good sign. Can't wait to string her up for the first time.
