Hey guys I'm going next week to talk with the bowyer about getting my first custom hybrid long bow started. I thought I new what kinda wood I wanted and now I'm not sure. Please post your bows. My first choice was somekind of grey laminate, charcoal diamond, with a thin walnut or brown wood down the center. Then I saw the camo laminate on a encore stock and wondered what that would look like as a riser. Lets see yours!
There are a number of dymond wood colors to choose from. I found this color spec pic online.

I like the darker, reddish woods myself, cocobolo, or rosewood with a lighter limb veneer like curly maple or zebra wood with a darker or phenolic accent thru the riser.

That color chart is the cat's meow. With so many great choices, it's going to be tough decision.
Where is the site at for that chart?
