Title: Zebra wood Riser cross grain AW Limbs?
Post by: Bishop on March 20, 2012, 09:33:00 PM
I'm considering a Tall Tines bow. I know I want a Zebra riser but want to keep cost down. Anyone have the combo of zebra with cross grain action wood limbs? Or Zebra with brown or black glass?

Thanks!

Just some I threw together to test core woods.

Used black glass so entire core would be of the wood tested.
