Title: Big Jim Thunderchild
Post by: wood carver 2 on September 04, 2018, 05:53:00 PM
Sorry for not posting earlier, I spent the weekend playing with my new toy.  :archer:
Big Jim built a beautiful Thunderchild for me as the second winner of the St. Jude auction, and I couldn't be happier.
The riser is built with gaboon ebony and buckeye burl and the limb veneers are the nicest spalted maple I have ever seen and there are moose antler overlays and a beaver tail grip.
A 570 grain arrow just blazes off the shelf and she puts 'em where I'm looking. I can't wait to get her out into the woods!
Thanks again Jim!
Dave.

I love shooting this bow. Jim shaped the grip almost exactly the way I do my own grips. The bow just sits naturally in my hand and boy, does it shoot!
I have to find a nice piece of wood to make a bow rack for it.
Thanks for posting the pics for me Roy. You're ok.  ;)
Dave.

Man that is a great looking bow.  I was by Jim's shop the day they were shipping it and saw it sitting on the counter.  I commented to Jim and Barb how beautiful that bow is, congrats on an awesome bow! I have a Thunderchild and a Mountain Monarch and love them both, they are certainly shooters.  The MM is my newest bow and I am torn on which one to start with Saturday morning.  More than likely the MM will rule out since I need to break her in and have been shooting it the most.  Best of luck this season!

Thanks guys. I have to look at it every time I get home. Big Jim is the one who deserves the big shout out. All I did was to tell him what I like and I asked him to choose the woods. He probably thought I was being a PITA,  :), but I've seen his work and I had no doubt that he would build a beauty.
