Title: What is this wood?
Post by: EwokArcher on January 04, 2016, 04:07:00 PM

This was previously posted a couple months ago and I was not able to figure out what woods were used in this bows riser.
This is not my bow I just stole the image to repost. This is an incredible bow props to the bowyer.

I'm not sure on the darker wood, but the lighter wood appears to be zebra wood. The bow is a Big Foot Sasquatch SS. Shoot Kirk at Big Foot Bows (a sponsor here) an email or pm. His tradgang handle is kirkll.
