Beautiful!!

[Ryan Sanpei]

LOL!    

The tan and black twisted with the white and black 8125 might match well with that riser!

[Bowhunter4life]

No worries from this end JC!  I'd have went that way also, in a heartbeat!  Simply stunning!!!

[BowMIke]

JC, that is a unique and gorgeous pair of risers. If I order another Shawnee that would be my first choice. (although I don't think there is much of that wood available!)
Congratulations!

Where do you go about finding this wood never even seen it.

[Greg Owen]

Very nice! How big was the piece of wood?

[cacciatore]

I remember when you posted the pic of that wood the first time.You did good a great bow for an incredible wood.I like ebony but this one is a claas apart.

[Jerry Wald]

Worth the wait I think - she's a beaut.

This is such a beautiful bow.  Congratulations!  Bob did a wonderful work.  It must shoot good too.

You have found probably the best looking Black and White Ebony I ever seen.  I am happy for you that Bob turned the best use of it and made into 2 bows.

[vtmtnman]

Wow...Now that's unique.Beautiful.

[Jon Shade]

Your riser is beyond words! I'm crazy about it. Don't forget to save a small sliver for a matching knife.

[JC]

Thanks Curt, Chris and I are already connecting on the skins.

Ryan, you read my mind     :D  

Thanks again guys, it's honestly prettier than I expected...I can't wait to see the Shawnee riser (hopefully) today. I feel exceedingly blessed that God would allow me to own such beautiful things. The Bible says all good things come from Him and when I hold this one in my hand I know that is certainly true; the figure in it is beyond the capabilities of eve the finest human artist. I would never place material things above God, I'm just testifying that I sure know where they come from.        

The wood isn't so hard to find in small pieces; it's very popular with the "turning" crowd for pens and bowls and such. The main problem is finding one big enough for a riser. I would check with whoever you plan on building one on how big of a piece they will need. I think this one was about 3" x 3 1/2" x 20". At the time, I found 3 that size but this one was the prettiest to me. The wood is out there, just keep looking until you find the right piece...then the hard part begins....the wait! I got mine from Westpennhardwoods.com, fantastic folks to deal with and they work really hard to get you the exact piece you are looking for. They are out of stock right now as far as I know but there are numerous sources in the US, just google exotic wood suppliers. I'll bet there are some pieces big enough out there, but Bob says he doesn't think they will be out there for long after these two risers.    

[Dan Spiece]

Wow ain't enough that is PRETTY!

[Dirtybird]

That wood is sweet.      

[Grant Young]

Congratulations JC- Beautiful piece of gear! I cant't wait to see it "in person."    Grant

[ShooterF150]

That's well worth the wait. I never saw wood like that. Very nice. Mike

[joe vt]

JC, I remember you posting a pic of that block many many moons ago. It's been a long time coming but....my oh my what a sweet looking riser!!!

[SpankyNeal]

Awesome is the only word I can think of to describe it! Looking forward to seeing those in person at a GA shoot! Congrats!

[Keith Karr]

JC,  I believe that is the prettiest riser I've ever seen. Bring it to the shoot Saturday, I would sure like to see it.

I'm shooting one of Bob's 18" ILF risers and really do like it. I've got an extra set of  winex long 36# limbs, probably pull about 48# at 28". Your welcome to borrow them till you get some to shoot.
