Does anyone have an pictures of Macassar Ebony and cocobolo woods combined on a riser?
I'd like to see what they would look like.
Thanks,
JD
I hope Larry doesn't mind...

I think Snag has one too.
Killdeer :bigsmyl:
Thanks Kille.
The ebony doesn't look dark in that picture, I wonder if the Cocobolo tones it down a bit.
Macassar isn't black like Gaboon or other ebonies, it (usually) is a dark brown with good flowing grain lines, like smoke on a calm day. Here is Bob's "shop photo" of my riser, Macassar with bocote.

Killdeer~no, Larry.
Killie there's some mojo in that riser, I can see it.
Bob makes a beautiful bow doesn't he? I was on a weekend deer hunt in Ohio last year and was going to run over to his shop one day, but I ended up taking a buck the first day. I had to postpone the bowyer trip - someday I'll get there.
I might as well ask for the darker ebony with cocobolo pictures as well...
I'm also tinkering with the idea of a bit of Osage in the riser.
Check out the Blacktail Bows site, they have a gallery with examples of darker ebony and cocobolo.
Killdeer
Thanks - There's some nice one's on the Blacktail site.
Uh-HUH!!

Thats a VERY nice looker of a bow Killy. I've saved it so to have one made of the same timbers one day. Thanks.

It got a half pine cone before it left the shop, Al.

It looks a bit mellower here. I like it mellow.

Nice way to chrisen the bow Killie. I like that pine cone...so much I had to send mine back for a little craving!
I'm working on one now thats coco and paduak...hope it comes out as pretty as I imagine it.

the paduak is over my friends house....gotta pick it up this week.
killy, you post that one more time and I'm driving down to VA with a safe cracker to set it free. Or maybe I'll just bring back the whole darn safe :banghead: :banghead:
I wasn't going to mention Killie's post of that shot, but I was thinking it last night when she posted the first riser pic.
Keep those Ebony pictures coming...
Thanks,
JD
I gotta see that one when it's done, Hickstick! That is some outstanding wood. :bigsmyl:
Larry, the safe weighed three hundred pounds before I stuffed it full of heavy stuff. I am on the top floor. There is no elevator. :p
This Arapaho is Macassar and spalted maple, with antler overlay on the front of the riser.

What was the yardage Killie?
Rich, you are killing me with that combo!
LHA, what is the core material on those limbs?
Snag,
The wedges are bloodwood the limb core is carbon
Chris
I can't show pics yet, because my bow won't be completed for about 10 months. Ric Anderson is going to be building a Thermal for me out of Macassar Ebony and Bocote in the riser with Actionboo cores and Bocote veneers. The riser, and possibly the limb pads, will very likely also have Ric's Maple and Bloodwood accents, too. Whatever he decides to do it will be gorgeous!
Bill
Yardage? How the heck would I know? It was all a blur! Somewhere between ten feet and twenty yards... :confused:
That bow right above me sure is a looker! Gotta check out that LHA site!
Killdeer :bigsmyl:
Chris Sparks that is one pretty bow! Does it shoot as nice as that try before you buy bow I had for a while?

Joe,
Are the woods listed correctly for this picture?
What kind of ebony is that?
looks like Maccassar Ebony to me...Mike
Joe,
Maccassar Ebony and Zebrawood.
I've been looking at Ebony a bit...

I too have a bow or two that I should have bought...
There's a Silvertip that has been haunting me.
It was ebony with a light wood wave.
