I am thinking about ordering a bow with macassar ebony limbs and riser.
I would appreciate it if you could show me some pics of macassar ebony linbs, risers or both!

Thanks!

Tony, that's a beautiful bow too. Macassar ebony has and always will be "one" of my favorites.

Thanks for the compliments guys, sometimes I can't hardly believe it's no longer in my stable.

Don and Tony,
Those are beautiful examples of highly figured Macassar! I have a Silvertip coming next month with Macassar riser flares. I'd be tickled pink if mine is close to yours!

No doubt macassar is a favored wood choice.

Bold, yet discrete.

Good Mac ebony with the light brown stripes is getting hard to find. It an excellent riser wood. I looked for a while to find this piece. Not the best grain but not bad either. It has an Ipe I-beam (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/crookedstic/New%20Pronounced%20TD%20longbow/BowWood1.jpg)

Andy That is a super rare piece of wood there. I have been looking for two years for another piece like that one and haven't come close.
I love the looks of macassar but I sure hate finishing it.
