Title: Pics of riser's
Post by: huntman on October 17, 2022, 08:33:43 PM

I put my deposit on a BW bow and still undecided of what type of wood to use for the riser. A few i have been looking at is Bocote, Ziricote and Cocobolo. If anyone has one of these or combination of diff. wood could you send me a picture? Thanks

I did cocobolo with gray bark to match up with a set of gray bark limbs I had.

Got a PLX with bocote veneers on limbs (core is bamboo), and ziricote in the riser. No red. No white.

Just about the prettiest bow ever.

I’ll try to get a pic loaded.

Ziricote makes a nice looking riser. Also mac ebony with plenty of tan  streaks in it. Then there is Kingwood to.

The two outside bows are Chechen, I believe. I really like this wood in a riser.
I don’t remember the middle/ maybe rosewood?

Stagetek, I believe I've seen your bow hanging on the rack at a 3D shoot and wondered who the owner is.  Maybe the lines of a one-piece bow enhance the looks but that's the prettiest Widow I've ever seen!   I like all Widow's without the red.
