Title: Great looking wood combo's for bows!
Post by: Chris Surtees on February 20, 2008, 11:31:00 AM
After seeing Golden Hawk's Zircote and Osage Zipper recurve I started thinking about wood combo's that are just go great together. I know there are tons but lets see what you have.

Personally I like a Texas Ebony/Osage combo, and solid Curly Koa. Wish I had some pics but I am not able to take any right now.

Osage and Bacote. Hard to top.

How about cocobolo and curly maple with a little accent S curve and snakewood veneers?

I got to get some pictures but Shedua and Zebrawood is a nice combo...

... with, of course, the antler limb tips and knobs    :biglaugh:

Josh,

They are both RER's.  The Cocobolo & Bocote is their new "LX".
