I think this might be the prettiest one I've ever put together. Koa and maple reinforced riser. Koa veneers amber boo impala horns. 60 inch take down & a smooth 45 @ 28.

T-bird is hard to beat isn't it? very nice.
Awesome! I love seeing all the high end bows produced by all the great folks here. I know the many many hours that are invested and so when I see great work like this I can appreciate all that you poured into it. It sure feels good to look at the finished bow.
Sweet bow Shawn! Finish looks an inch deep!!
Awesome Shawn! That sure is a beauty!! :thumbsup:

Not too shabby :)
Outstanding and a fantastic finish. Bue--.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
They don't come much nicer than that.
Sure is a looker. Great job!!!
Awesome! I love koa. I had a recurve made with koa cut offs I brought back from Kaual. With phenolic in the riser for strength, it is a looker as well. Good job!
Where does that koa come from... That is stunning!!
Sweet bow Shawn!
Truly a functional work of art, just beautiful!
Whoa thats hell of a beauty!

Beautifull, maybe you must do us a --show how-- on the impala horns
Earlier in the thread I had made a mistake about the finish. That is the finish that Big jim sells its the buffalo hide finish.
Thanks guys
That is a seriously beautiful bow. Love the Koa.
Very stunning!!

Now that's an original! Very nice work!!
Very nice Shawn....what was the application of that finish...did you spray, wet sand and then buff?
Fantastic job!
Brad I sent that to jim he did it for me. close to 20 coats. yes he wet sanded between and eventually down 2000 grit, then buffed.
wow, I was just looking for pics of Koa as I am getting a Zipper Nitro with curly koa limbs. your bow is georgous! great work. I love seeing bows that others make. I am always drawn to bows with unique wood with great character. yours ranks right up there !
I like it, rock`n roll. Bue--. :clapper:
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Love the depth of that finish! That bow says look at me some more!
Unbelievable. That's a beauty!
