I ordered a Black Widow PLX last week with these myrtle veneers I got from IdahoCurt.
It will be 62" 48#@28" with a zircote takedown rizer. Now the wait begins.

I'm not sure if I'm in the waiting room or pre-op scrub..I've got a couple bows awaiting cosmetic work, including a 1969 black-tip Kodiak Magnum with a highly figured tigerwood riser that will leap out of a new finish. But I'm still in my re-finishing internship...

[V I Archer]

Great idea for a thread Dutch!

I'm waiting on a 2'piece Cari-Bow featherhorn.  Yew core, yew belly.  Left the riser and back  veneers to Abe's discretion.  Beaver tail grip and a mountain goat woodburning.

[Flying Dutchman]

Can't go wrong with a caribow....

Just got a call on Friday from Dan Toelke that my new Super D is on the way!  Can't wait to see it!

There are really some pretty stuff here. I wish I could put something on order.

[Flying Dutchman]

I feel your pain bro! I had to save a long time and sell one of my three bows in order to get the money to order this one...

[V I Archer]

I've been shooting longbow for 16 years.  This will be my first custom and I pinched, scrimped, saved and whined for two or three years.  I have a lot of hobbies, my wife would say too many, but bowhunting is easily my favourite, most promintent and the one that consumes most of my spare resources.  Woodworking runs a close second, but my tablesaw paid for itself in the first month I owned it, can't say the same for any bow, backpack or binoculars I ever bought.

This is an awesome thread and thought it was worth resurrecting!

I've asked Abe Penner of Caribow to build me a Tuktu EX...can't friggin wait!

Saw these veneers on Curts site, and jumped all over them as quick as I could. Missed the last set of spalted mango and thought I'd have to go with something else.



Riser is going to be some pretty Ziricote!

But I can't decide between a one piece or two piece bow...what do you guys think?

[Sam McMichael]

This thread has produced some really nice pictures of veneers. We expect pictures of the finished bows, please.

[Doc Nock]

We've not seen "Flying Dutchman" in a long time.  I had email contact with him and know he struggled with a debilitating ailment, that in most is progressive...

I'm not sure he'd want that aired out, so I'll leave it at that but he's been in my prayers and thoughts often thru this silence...  :(

Those veneers are incredible.  

I am waiting on a new Jet longbow to be built, but it will be colored glass back and belly, no awesome wood showing. It will be for hunting and shooting and not for looking at.  I have an RER bow that I often just look at, rich in bocote, which I think is my favorite.

Thanks Chuck C! I'm sorry to hear about  Flying Dutchman though, that is terrible news and I hope he is in good spirits at least!

I took off work early today to be here for the postman to deliver me a new Tall Tines longbow.  It'll be my first new bow in a couple years now.  I went through a phase looking for the perfect take down that lasted several years and a couple hundred bows.  Life got hectic and it never seemed to materialize so I kept on keeping on with my old standby Sarells 1-piece which I LOVE, except when packing the car.  Well today I have a nice osage and cocobolo stickfinger coming in.

[Matabele]

Sounds awesome GDPolk! Post some pics up when you can would be great to see it.
