Wow, you guys have some awesome bows! Sixby, that Paradox Walnut is super nice. I build about 6 bows a year for myself and Helen and they are all simple bows nothing like the others posted above. I used curly walnut veneer in this bow.   (http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt46/Robertfishes/feb2012bow15.jpg)

Kadbow...
Nice to find out one of the owners of that bow.

I've had a few picture of that bow saved for some time now.

Those are one of my top 3 best looking limbs I've ever seen...not trying to rub it in..lol

Kadbow- I stole your idea for my new CH. 56" is a great length for a blind and this bow vanishes in one!

My other new shrew is light and dark, but blends in real well

There are some beautiful recurves in this thread, but I LOVE the colors in your longbow. It makes me smile from ear to ear knowing that in a few weeks, I'll have a hunter model like it. I think the wood and colors I picked are identical to yours. Seeing your photos, I know I made a good choice.
