What are you favorite wood combos in either handle or limbs?
I know I'm particular to the para rosa limbs w/ para rosa and black colored wood combos in the handle.  I also like the natural woods colors as well.

My favorites....cocobolo with osage, but there are others that look well also! Limbs...I like waterfall or tamo ash! Good grainy elm is nice also!

and I'm partial to the walnut/maple on my new Lost Creek I just posted.

Koa and Maccassar or wenge.Koa lights up like a Christmas tree. It has a depth like no other wood I have seen.
Ebony and Cocabola is pretty neat too as is Claro Walnut and ebony.
I have built a couple of bows of super fancy maple and purpleheart that are simply stunning.
Then there is Myrtle and Koa

Hey, I guess I just like wood.

God bless you all, steve

I really like the looks of walnut/osage. I have a stunning 56" Pronghorn one piece with a walnut riser and osage limbs. Looks great when the osage was "new", now after it has aged a fews years, looks even better.

Osage limbs and Bacota riser really floats my boat. Really like how they look when they have aged together for a few years.

The black natural figuring and grain of Kingwood or Cocobolo in contrast to its red/orange base wood color really looks great to me.  If these woods are highlighted with osage or black ebony, then all the better.

Cocobolo and white myrtle looks great.

My favorite just became yew limbs and purple heart riser on my new longbow.

Here some combos I like on my Mohawks

Bubinga with Cocobolo



Osage with Cocobolo



Another Osage and Cocobolo reversed

Forgot to add that the Osage in the middle pic is really mellowing and turning that nice honey color.  Looks even better with the Cocobolo as it ages.

Yew and purpleheart, Fantastic combination. great choice you made on that. Do you have a picture.

God bless you, steve

My favorite riser wood is Texas Ebony... I'm torn on the limb veneers between Mesquite and Osage... probably leaning toward the Osage after it ages..

I second Sixby on that Koa. Grows in Hawaii. I just sent off an email question to my bowyer on making a bow for me in Koa. I think he has used it in the past.  

How about these combos?

Cocobolo riser and Tulipwood limbs

Zircote riser and Tiger Myrtle limbs

Cocobolo riser yew limbs or solid curly maple stained dark like Bob Thompson used to do.

Shedua and bubinga riser with red elm limbs.Natural camo!! Bob

I have a shedua and zebrawood that I like alot.

I like Zebrawood with Cocabola.That isd on my V-Bow

I like Myrtle and Walnut but when in doubt mix them up      

 
 

soooooooooo many choices and soooooooooo little time...

 

Left to right Myrtle, Snake, Walnut, Striped Ebony and Redwood Burl....
