The center stripe also looks like Bubinga and the outer, to me, looks like Ramwood (impregnated Maple).  I am no expert though...

Very pretty bow either way. Is that gold leaf on the riser.

Lacewood on the limbs....I'll buy that.
Yeah that's gold leaf too.
I agree to some Bubinga, but what is the main riser wood ?  I don't know, I'm askin'.
 I got this bow here off our ads.  One look and I fell in love.
 This is the "2000" Special Edition Bighorn.
Never knew somethin' this purty could shoot so flat.  I'm amazed at how well balanced it is.
 I've never had, or apparantly, even shot a high performance bow before.  There IS a difference.
 Thanks again Butch for making it possible.  :thumbsup:
