Black Limba. also called Corina in the guitar building world. It is favored for the tonal qualities, like old honduran mahogany.

You might send Kevin at Rivers Edge an e-Mail and ask him.  I believe he used it in some of his bows.

I'm sure it will work fine in the core.  There is very little performance difference  between a very wide range of core woods.  Less lam thickness is required when using the heavier, stiffer woods to get the same draw weight, so it pretty much is a wash.  I would use pretty straight, edge grain though.
