Title: Riser wood combos?
Post by: AWPForester on February 13, 2011, 11:43:00 AM
Hey Guys,

I have ordered a couple bows from Madog.  They were matching bows made of Ziricote with an accent stripe with black glass, for me and my twin brother.  I am looking to place another order with him for a lighter draw weight and was wanting something different.

I have very little expierence in choosing wood riser combo's but would love to see some pics of the bows you guys have an consider unigue or pretty.   I seem to prefer the darker bows but would love to see pictures of all.  I appreciate it.

You can tell from below that I really like Cocobolo.  But, I'm having a bow made right now (Silvertip) that will be Rosewood & Macassar with Myrtle limbs.

If you do a search for just about any bow you'll find great pictures. My favorite is "Schafer Pictures".  


Here's a Bear Supreme: Zebra and Cocobolo

Both of my two Blacktail TD recurves have cocobolo risers footed with shedua separated by two lines of white myrtle. Below are two photos of my 37# bow's riser, front and back.

It's not necessarily unique, but I always thought bocote/cocobolo made a pretty pair...
