Been thinking about a new bow. I love the look of juniper limb veneers, but I can't decide on the handle material...Any ideas? pics are always appreciated?
I have a Hill Cheetah,it has a cocobola riser with the juniper limbs.They look great together,I think it would look good also with a gaboon ebony or macasser ebony for riser woods.

Here are a couple RER's with juniper limbs - Ginger's bow has a purpleheart riser, mine is osage orange, mesquite and, I think, cocobolo. I think they both accentuate the cedar really well.

Walnut and/or cherry
I have a Cheetah on order with cocobolo riser; it's gonna be a good one.
Here's a thread with pics of a Fatalstyk I just bought with a Myrtle and Cocobolo riser:

I like the combo, but am biased. :thumbsup:
No pics but i like the looks of juniper with macassar ebony or cocobolo.

Juniper limbs under clear glass with an accent stripe of Juniper running through the riser and overlays of antler looks great.
I just cut these the other day. Should make some sweet veneers.

My HH cheetah has Texas ebony but a really nice piece of cocobolla should look great
I've seen juniper and ER cedar matched with osage and it looks great, esp after the osage ages.
Macassar ebony or black micarta.
I have a Robertson recurve with cocobolo riser and juniper limbs, very nice combination.
Steven, I like the idea of texas ebony with the juniper...all north american. But no pics? what gives?
