I can't remember if this was ever asked before? Here goes: What are your favorite two wood combos in a longbow riser? Pictures would be very helpful if possible. Thanks!
cocobolo with a shedua swipe.
Bocote and Zirocote

Bacote and Cocobola is nice, on my Treestick

The list is about endless for me but I think just about any wood looks good with a Gabon Ebony swipe through it.
My new bow is Macassar Ebony footed with Cocobolo.
Pretty Bows Guys PLEASE keep them coming!WOW!
I don't have one, but I am partial to cocobolo and osage......
David
I like Cocobolo and Maple, Shedua and Tiger wood,
or good wavy two tone Actionwood.
Ditto Joe Skipp Cocobolo and Maple

Bocote & Osage...

Zircota or ebony with tulipwood would be my first choice.
I would have to say cocobola with bacote which I have a treestick and blacktail in. Or Myrtle and Wenge my other blacktail.

Coco and bolo. ;) Ok, not two woods, but a nice two color grain. A Hill, with cocobolo riser and yew limbs is about as beautiful as it gets.(to my eye)

Cocobolo and bacote with a yellowheart stripe. Yellowheart is my favorite accent for bacote. It seems to make the bacote 'jump out'.

Osage and cocobolo with bloodwood accents.

Outstanding combos and pictures thanks guys!
Zebra riser and cocobolo limbs. Not a combo I see a lot of, but it looks nice to my eye. Just about anything looks good with cocobolo I guess

Yup, Joe has apic of my favorite, Coco and Osage. Very nice contrast! Shawn
Wow what beautiful woods! HEY Gator you seein' these too? These pics should help you in your QUEST also.
Cocoabolla / bocote is awesome that's what my Brushbow was.
Well,
I am leaning toward the cocobolo and bacote... Some great samples....
I like Osage and Bacote or Osage/Walnut or Osage purpleheart right now. But it's apt to change. :bigsmyl: Dont have any real good pics but here are three I recently built.

Bacote and Purpleheart - although my bow has maple laminations between the two woods. I'll post a picture when I get home.
