Looking at getting a PCH-X and am considering olive ash. Want some pics and opinions on the wood in a riser. Thanks in advance!
Pics you want of are their riser blocks... I got some veneers for limbs once...beautiful, but each cut is different on wood, eh?
Good luck...
i know you said riser but I think you will be hard pressed to find some body who has one. I have that wood on my limbs (http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7208/6994159243_44845260f0.jpg)
untill getting this bow I had never seen this wood on a bow ever

Since LBM showed you his limb, I only have a tip pic, but you can see the figure in the olive ash

The second riser from the left is Olive Ash and Merado.

Jamie Printz has a SXT riser with Olive Ash in it. Maybe he will post a picture for you.

Limb pics are great. Jim, what riser wood did you go with?
This one has a Shedua riser with Olive Ash accents and veneers. I think the Shedua goes pretty well with it.
