Title: wood choices?
Post by: Toxophilitis on February 16, 2013, 10:28:00 PM
My Dad and I have made several recurves out of action wood. Now I am looking to make a glass laminate longbow. I am going to use curly Bubinga for the limbs but I am trying to decide what would go well for the riser. The riser is going to be a somewhat traditional longbow grip. What woods do you guys recommend.

I think a dark riser like wenge would be a.great combo with the bubinga
