The light stripe might be walnut ( likely) or shedua.  The rest of the riser and the overlay looks like bubinga. Not a good enough pix of the limbs to make a judgment on the laminations, but the fella out of Iowa who built Shawnee longbows a while back tended to use elm in the limbs.  Don't know if he's the same builder. Handle pistol grip shape kind of looks like one of his though.

To me the riser looks like bubinga with a shedua stripe,maybe I'm wrong?The limbs look like flat grain red elm maybe?

I think bubinga and shedua as someone above said, actually pretty sure on the bubinga and the limbs are red elm. Shawn
