I've got a Shawnee on the way and the previous owner doesn't know for sure what woods are in the riser. I think the one wood is Bocote, but the other is a guess for me.
Let me know what you think it is, and I know I can ask Bob, but I thought I would have a little fun...

Lets just call it "perty" wood!
I think you are correct on the Bocote but whatever the other is they look good together!
Looks like curly maple and the flare is bocate or zebra. Nice
PM Bob the serial number he'll tell you what it is.
But I,ll take a guess,of Myrtle outside and Bocote inside flare with half pine cone and copperhead skins.
Or I would just agree with Jason.
birch
looks like curly koa outside
that looks like Koa and Bacote
masur birch that is
PETE is correct
Great looking bow!!!
Maple and zebra Nice bow
Pete is correct, I remember seeing that one,or one like it, on his stock bow index...Mike
I don't have the bow in hand just yet, and these are the pics I had to go on from seller. Don't have the serial # at this time either to ask Bob. But, I didn't need anything more than what we see here to know I wanted this bow.
"A" riser w/medium grip with 1/2 pinecones and "E" carbon/foam limbs 57# @ 28" or (60# @ my 29" draw) with copperheads.
whatever it may be i know i want it. dont you have 2 already?? is your phone # listed? im calling your wife and giving her a heads up on your new purchase. i will give you a fair $. what say you?
massur birch and bocote! I'll take first dibs when you are ready to let it go!! :bigsmyl:
She knows already Pete... as a matter of fact she bought #2 for full price from Bob for my Christmas present. So, when I found this one for half price it didn't take much convincing to let me get it.
All I had to do was sell something to pay for it! ;)
ok, no call then :^) enjoy the bow, shes a beauty!
Bacote stripe and myrtle?
curly koa. Beauty!!!! Want to sell it? :bigsmyl:
WELL MAYBE BOB WILL STEP IN OR LEAVE EVERYONE HANGING!!!!WHAT'S IT GONNA BE BOB?????????????
You have to get them before they are listed to do that Feliciano! Which just happened to be the case with this one... ;)
Well the bow showed up today and all I can say is the pictures didn't do this bow justice by any means. Stunning...
Oh, and confirmed through Bob, it is Masur Birch and Bocote. Confirmed throuh me, shoots like a dream! ;)
I'll work on some better pictures...

Thomas,
You need to work on Jeff to have him ship that bow to me in Michigan!
Beautiful Bow Jeff , glad I got to see it . It's in good hands as displayed by your shooting ! By the way todays Bob's birthday . Hope to join you on another hunt someday soon , Fred
Me too Fred, great to see you again! How did the last day go for you? I know it was cold and windy, which should have made you feel like you were back at home... ;)
Here are a few pics of the riser as promised, still really doesn't do it justice...

Looks like massur birch, but it could be quilted sapelle and bacote. Shawn
