Title: Pretty wood no matter how ya slice it !
Post by: D.Sheppard on April 29, 2016, 04:27:00 PM

Woods from the same species can vary greatly but with Zebrawoods light and dark grain the differences can really be seen.

One question. Is the wood dark with light stripes, or light with dark stripes?

I love Zebra wood, only have one zebrawood bow left though, my walls were starting to quiver with the amount of bows I had hanging so I sold most of them.

Zebrawood is an eye catcher, love that huge Indian Archery bow on the far left. Have you ever seen a Howatt bow in Zebrawood?

The large riser bow to the left that looks like an Indian Archery bow in design and the way the specs are wrote is actually one of the Sears branded bows. Some of the photos do not show the true color of the glass, its a nice lime green !    :eek:

Here is another example of an Indian Archery bow The Seneca, marked and sold by Sears. The profile, design and spec writing nearly identical.
