I've been eyeing South Cox's bows for a long time and I've decided to pull the trigger on one. I'd love to see some pictures of his bows to get an idea for wood choices.
Here's a good thread. If you search the PowWow for Stalker Stickbow you'll find a whole bunch of threads with lots of bows. They are serious beauties, and will be my next bow for sure.

My favorite is in this thread, it's got Claro Walnut and Tiger Myrtle with red accents.
My favorite is the Schleyer Classic version of the Wolverine FXT, with the dubdued accents. :thumbsup:
Here's a picture of a Schleyer from his website:

If/when I buy another bow it will be the Schleyer Wolverine but without the visible brass inserts in the riser face.
I had one this time last year with the brass and it was the easiest to shoot well (best grip) I have ever shot. I sold it purely for aesthetic reasons.
Bought it right here on Trad Gang and didn't loose a nickel when I resold it - can't say that about many bows these days!
South makes a sweet bow. I picked one up from a TGang member a few years ago. That bow is fast, quiet, and dead in your hand. You will be pleased.

Here is the Stalker coyote I won in last years PBS bow raffle. It is cocobolo and highly figured maple. The limbs are quilted maple:

I'm leaning toward the Schleyer or maybe a cocobolo juniper combo. Then again that quilted maple does look nice
