Its a Tanjavur LB, macassar ebony, riser, tips and lams with hickory and walnut core.  55#@29"  60" bow.  Just got back inside from shooting it again, its a sweet shooting bow.   :readit:  

Sorry Killdeer, Greg is the same bowyer that made Roger Norris' new bow too, that he hadn't got to post pics of yet.

Even More Details!!!  How would you compare this bow to other bows?  I think of the Java Models this one stands out! And  your's is a real looker!

I'm pretty sheltered in the bow shooting world. lol  I have another bow from Java Man, a short recurve.  They are both great bows.  Before I got the recurve I was shooting a LB that I thought had no hand-shock, well it didn't compared to what I was shooting before that.    :knothead:  

So compared to those, these are more better.  :biglaugh:

It might be longer than a year before you decide to get rid of it, but when you do I want first dibs.  :pray:

Gregg is one of those, in the back ground, slightly off the radar, hidden treasure bowyers. He is a very forward thinking bow designer, and really knows how to put woods together for a great look.

On top of that he is my friend.

Its all Roy's fault.  He picked out the woods.

Thanks Bob.   :D

Not entirely all my fault.  I had the opportunity to visit Greg and he showed me the different types of wood he had (if that wouldn't make someone order a bow nothing would), and earlier in the year he put the idea in my head of using all of the same wood for a bow.

Dang, I missed this one the first time around.  That is one sweet stick.  Of course if your the guy I think you are I think Javaman made out on the deal.

Ehh...Cinderella never gets to go to the ball...

I have to find people to trade this kind of stuff with.  Of course I probably have to find people to talk to first.

Dang it, that is a sweet bow.
