Sorry I took so long to chime in on this thread! Nice pics of a nice bow.

ITs Cocobolo and Maple with African Mahogeny limbs. It was made in Trout Creek, MT by a gentleman named Bob Hawkinson. He passed away from cancer about 7 or 8 years ago now...cant believe its been that long. SHoot, may have even been longer??? Anyhow, Bob taught me how to build bows. His bows were called "Hawk" bows, for his last name. Whne he passed away I bought all his tools and asked his wife and brother if they minded if I continued his line of bows... they said heck yeah... so, I looked out my window one day in Lolo at the Sapphire Mountains and thought, Sapphire Hawk...thats what I'll call my bow.

Anyhow, good find. I have 3 of his hanging in my shop.

He was a true friend of archery. Built nice bows and sold them cheap. Built bows for kids nearly free...got a lot of kids involved in archery...

Ernie

I thought it looked like that design! I knew if ernie saw this he could get us filled in more.

That is very cool!!!
