None in limbs, but here is a riser of bubinga. Waaay better than I'd hoped!

I made this bow for my friends 15 year old daughter last year. the bubinga riser was pinkish and kind of plain. This one was built using kennym's 64 inch template  (http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt46/Robertfishes/bow8finished.jpg)

Did anyone on this site buy the stock Cari-bow Taiga a while back?  It was all waterfall bubinga, riser and limbs.
If you can check the Cari-bow website, he can probably send you a pic. It was out of this world.

David I Seen a Bow on the caribow sight and thats what started this whole thread. it was waterfall bubinga hartwood/sapwood limbs I think. I am thinking on having Abe make me a bow. I got someone that was kind enough to offer to send me one to shoot first being that I have never shoot one. But I sure like the looks and what I hear about his bows.

Thanks Everyone for posting your pictures there sure is some nice looking bows.

Bow 1 bubinga riser yew limbs bow 2 bubinga riser and osage limbs.  The best thing about bubinga, is you can substitute just about any word in a sentence with "bubinga" and make it sound dirty.    :)
