Pretty cool.....

A guy at another site told me I might have a rare one! I will check for a serial #

Well nothing on the riser..

Might be a lunch box riser.

el greco,why don't you post some pictures on the trad history,collectors forum?A couple years ago,someone was making one and a few seemed to be familiar with others that had.

I talked to Big Jim late last year and he put me on his list for a black maple A riser. Told him I'd hold out until he came across something "unique". He shot me a text late last week and this one is currently sitting in the local Post Office waiting to be picked up on Tuesday. Love the "carmel swirl".

 

el greco, your bow sure has the 'makings of a 'lunch box' signature bow'.  Mike, that is a fine looking handle.  You sure know how to find them.
Shick

El Greco:  There is a fella who made several high end copies of Bear TD risers.  I can't remember his name, but I know Zepnut on this site, owns one or two of them and does know the builder.  Your riser may be one of his.

My goodness that's GORGEOUS!!

I'd love to have one just like it in 45 pounds.

Exeptional riser!! Truly one of a kind!

Riser looks nice. Can you post pics of other side?

I've been looking to purchase used A riser like that.
Thanks

That riser is awesome!!!

Had to make a new armguard for myself for this season.
Found some glow in the dark compasses that are liquid filled and the green reminds me of the minty green strips.

Superb leather work Chad  

Phillip, the flip side. Not as figured as the the shelf side but still special.

Thanks for pic yellow dog.
It's really nice. Enjoy and good luck.

That armguard is awesome , I know for a fact that wearing one of those in the mountains while elk hunting will bring good luck..

I've been searching for a used one for some time.
Hoping one comes available...

Food for thought.....
I've wanted a Bear T/D since I was a kid. Back in the early 1980's I worked in an Archery/Bait&Tackle shop. We ordered our bows through Bowhunter's Warehouse. A Bear Kodiak T/D cost $275... (A lot of money for a young kid, I'd bought cars & trucks for that price) It cost about the same as the top of the line compound!
Last year, I ordered a new one from Big Jim!!! The $800 was money well spent... A 40 year dream, that finally came true!!!
If you want one, spend the money...

I do love the old Bear TDs , they always treat me well....
