Java Man Elkheart in the works....

[Guss]

Gregg has got my Elkheart started....54" 50@28" 2 pc....
Phenolic/Macassar riser w/Water Buffalo handle overlays...Macassar veneers w/buffalo tips.
    Gregg has been a pleasure to work with and has kept me updated and shared a few pics of the process...thought I'd let everyone share in my excitement and anticipation...!!

Just out of the form.....

Macassar for the riser buildup....

[Guss]

Here are a few more I received Saturday....
It's gonna be sweet...!!!
After the first finish.......



Wow is all I could say....!

[Guss]

Oh yeah....Beavertail grip also!

A work of function and art in the making!  This looks like a really beauty.

I love Gregg's work, and wish I could use one of his bows.  (I have tried several times, but short bows just don't work for me.)  

Gregg is a great guy to deal with, too!

Guss your bow sounds almost identical to my St. Jude's bow that's about to be finished in the next few days  :D   The veneers on mine are very very similar to Macassar, called 'Royal' ebony.  My riser is half phenolic, half Bocote.  Also doing Buff overlays and tips...and beaver grip     It's like we read each other's minds.  But mine is lefty LOL.  We're Elkheart brothers.

I also have all the build pics from mine.  I plan on a full review and ALL the pics before and after.  Stay tuned.

Actually the 'Royal' ebony on mine may be more or less same as Macassar...or yours are Royal...LOL...they look about the same.  My bow is 56" 2pc and will be 52-53@29 so almost same weight as yours.  Can't wait to show it off.  Functional art is an understatement.

***edit: just texted Gregg and he says the Mac and Royal are very similar, yet still different.  Neato!

wow is right.....beautiful ,thanks for the pictures

My 56" Silvertip is Macasser with Buffalo tips.  Love that combo.  Cant wait to see the finished pics.  Yours and 9worlds.

[NBK]

Sir, you and I have similar tastes.  My Dauntless is all Macassar.  There are lots of beautiful woods for bows, but that's my favorite!

Great looking bow.  My son recently received a 56" Elkheart.  It is smooth to my 31".  He shot the lights out with it at the Annual High Country shoot in Colorado.  Gregg's work and attitude are grade A!

[Biathlonman]

That's awesome JR. I'm curious how the 54" will work for you, I'm loving my 58" Elkheart!

[awbowman]

I should never have opened this thread! How am I supposed to be a one bow man if y'all keep posting things like this!

[AR RidgeRunner]

I've seen a couple of Greg's bows in person, they are works of art!

[Big Ed]

Gregg and his workmanship are top notch!!

[hunthold]

Any bow from Gregg Coffey is awesome! Enjoy it!

[Guss]

Thanks guys for all the compliment's  on the bow,  but Gregg deserves all the credit....he's a great bowyer...no doubt!
Chuck, I got another email from Gregg tonite.....I'm gonna restrain from posting any of the pics until you chime in....since we're in this together now...!! Your gonna be pumped...!!!        

[nineworlds9]

I have seen the pics bro.  Feel free to post them!  Our bows look absolutely ace!  Don't worry, I plan a full bow 'pin up' shoot for mine when it arrives    

[Jwilliam]
