Osage, Zebra wood, Shedua, Cocobolo and Babinga just to name a few. Some of them also will work together nicely........

Brazilian Rosewood.That Dalamation Ebony is pretty cool too.

Just had a Big River R/D made last year with black glass limbs over bamboo cores. Riser has an Osage I-beam with Zircote over the top and black leather grip. It's my new favorite, at least until my next Big River

That's not to say that my last Big River isn't still my favorite - damn, decisions, decisions. :rolleyes:

I'm liking cocobolo pretty well:

I like that colored glass is making a "comeback" of sorts. Clear glass can be beautiful, but to me black glass just looks so damn badass! No frills, no fuss...just awesome!

The bubinga and trapped bamboo limbs on my black glass Misty Dawn look great together.

Is there a black glassed bow in your future Andrew?

Pokerdaddy · January 20, 2013, 10:05:00 PM

You bet Chuck! I'll update when I get back from Kzoo, but I'm looking forward to spending some time with Steve Turay and Jerry Brumm at the show...

I really miss that black glass Kanati I got from you, but it went to a good home. I need to pick up another of Jason's bows in the future!

Any red wood, cocobolo, bubinga etc. would look good to my eyes.

Rick Wiltshire · January 20, 2013, 10:18:00 PM

Here is a bocote riser I had.

Drewster · January 20, 2013, 10:23:00 PM

Black cherry looks fantastic with black glass :-)

akbowbender · January 20, 2013, 10:49:00 PM

That bocote does look nice with black glass.

Take a look on our website. We have a bunch on there with black limbs.
