I'm thinking of ordering a Northern Mist Superior with green glass; just looks cool to me.  I'll go with either yew or boo limbs but can't decide what riser wood will compliment the green glass.  Most of my bows have bubinga; I like the look and weight.  Anyone have pics of your green glass longbows to share?

We're it me I'd go for Pau ferro with all bamboo limbs in a green glass bow. Very nice.

I can't remember where I saw it, but it was a Northern Mist bow with green glass and a walnut handle. I thought it was quite the looker!

That's way cool man!
Adding the riser wood to the wedges really looks pro.

Think the Osage will look great with the Green.

Have 2 bows with Osage one in the limbs and one in the handle.

I have 3 older recurves with green glass limbs.  One is a Shakespeare Yukon that has a natural maple riser and it looks pretty good.  The other two shown below are bows that my father made and I have refinished.

This first one has a walnut riser that has a Truoil finish on it.  Sorry the pics of this one aren't very good, but you get the idea.





This second one has a maple riser that I dyed with a reddish brown pigment.  This picture was taken before I knocked the gloss down with 0000 steel wool.  The other side of the limbs are diamondback snake skins.

Stinger, your bows look like the old Sanders Sportsters. Same color riser with green glass...pretty cool!

Dan, I went with myrtle on my shelton. It has green glass on the back and white glass on the belly. Very classic looking bow. God bless, Scott.
