Ok.... Im just about to put in an order for another Big Jim Buffalo Bow. Im am looking for suggestions, with pics hopefully, for limb veneer ideas.

Here's the bow so far;
60" Buffalo Bow
58# @ 26"
Zebra wood Riser...

Some ideas i was thinking of were snake skin but i dnt know.

Any ideas would be helpful....

Dave - there are so many woods to choose from, that it's hard to pick one. If you give me some perameters ie., light, dark, burl or wave, curly, etc..

Gotta go with tiger myrtle. Seen some of that or that dalmation ebony. Oh yeah!!! Big Jim makes some awesome looking and shooting bows. What a great bunch of choices to have to make.
