Here's a pic of a Wenge and phenolic riser. I think this would go well with those limb veneers as well.

Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Great looking bows guys!  This 54" Elkheart arrived at my door today, and I spent a fair amount of time with it.  I'm impressed!  A double carbon and bamboo core is moving my arrows at 10.5 g.p.p. very fast.  It's also a quiet bow.  I moved my cat whiskers around a little and found them best out about 6" from the tips on Gregg's string.  Curly ambrosia maple veneers are really unique; never seen anything like them.   I feel like this bow is very much standing on its own, independent of my Gregg-made Shrews.  I'm not prepared to say one or the other is better, as I've only spent one afternoon shooting the bow, but it certainly has unique mannerisms that differ from what Mr. Coffey did with the Super Shrew, or Classic Hunter.  I'm really liking it!  Applause for    :coffee:    

 

 

 

 

   
This is the one I have listed F/S, hope Chase don't mind Me using His pics while My camera is on the blink.

The revival of this thread did not help me with my patient wait for my new Assyrian.
Beautiful bows and awesome shooters. Guess I'll go back to waiting and dreaming for now.

Gregg never fails to please.  A Java Man is always a good decision.

Picked up my Java Man Elk Heart just before the K'zoo Expo and took it with me to get a pic of Greg with the bow. Had it out stumping yesterday and still VERY happy with it.

2-piece bow bolt, cocobolo riser with phenolic I-beam and maple veneers dyed with hickory stain. Fairly subtle and, in my freely offered opinion, just plain classy!

- not a problem, David.  I posted some photos on your listing.

Bladepeek - that is a beautiful bow!  I like everything about it.  Congratulations!

I'm always more than happy to post pictures of the St Jude bow Gregg made me last year.  He was incredible to work with throughout the process and built me something amazing.

Beautiful Bows! You would be hard pressed to find a better fella than Gregg to build you a bow. They are outstanding performers also.

My buddy KSShrewman received his latest Java creation today.  Hopefully he will post some pics soon because it's a beauty.

Here is my newest.  56" Elkheart, 45#@28".  Veneers I got from curt at the wood vault.  Curly Koa splice w flame myrtle.  The riser is curly Koa and curly walnut.  Tips and overlay moose.  Plan to shoot tomorrow for first time.  Greggs work is always top notch!

Very nice! How about a update after ya sling some arrows?

Ok Rob.  Here's the first report. Refresh...56" Elkheart #45@28". Took it out this a.m. Beautiful morning here in KS.  Loosed about 30 woodies.  Typically I have ordered 2 piece from Gregg.  So my first though was its very light because it's missing the weight of the bolt. But Gregg and I discussed that prior. I decided no phenolic as weight is not a huge deal to me as I hunt with bow quiver and 4-5 arrows on the bow so I will have plenty of weight.  I shot this morning w quiver and without.  Both ways it was quick, quiet and straight.  Greggs bows are so smooth with no handshock at all.  Overall it's a pleasure and easy to shoot.  This pic is of 2nd group.  First one wasn't bad....but wasn't this tight.  This bow will take its first hunt to Canada for black bears in Aug!    :archer2:
