Zirocote riser and Walnut limbs? Anyone ever had this combo. I just finished my last installment on a soon to be delivered recurve. Looking ahead to the next bow. I'm wanting something dark and differnt.
I have a Sarrels Blueridge takedown longbow that has a ziricote riser with black walnut limbs, and it is one of the best looking bows I have ever owned. Of course, the kudu horn limb tips and limb caps don't hurt its looks any either! For that wood combo, you have to like a darker overall bow.
Sorry, don't have any pics handy, or I would post a few for you to see.

Sure would like to see those pictures
No pressure just if you have a chance
Please do post some pictures. I have a new bow pending, wanted to go with dark woods and haven't yet settled on what I want.
Here are the pics of mine:

Not the Zircote/Walnut combination your looking for, but if your after dark..
A Walnut with Black Phenolic combo might be an alternative option.
