I too like Black limb bows. I think almost any wood with some black grain lines in it like Bocote or Cocobolo look very nice with them. I also really like adding some black phenolic in the riser as well to set off the combo.

I also really like the gray actionwood/black phenolic in a riser with black glass limbs. With that combo some red accents also catch my eye.

Yep, Bocote and Black is sharp to me.

     

     

     


Coco and Zebra is sharp also

     


Walnut and Coco work also

sorta reminds me of an old Herter's Perfection 46 I used to have.

The Herter's was surprisingly nice for such a short bow...only a 40" string.

This one of Tenbrook's is a heck of a lot prettier...I'll bet it shoots better too.
I had one of those and the finger pinch would bring tears to your eyes. It did shoot pretty well though.    :eek:  

Cocobolo and myrtle works for me:

Kanati 58" 44# @ 28" Green glass on a green riser
Bear Kodiak Magnum 52" 45# @ 28"
Bodnik Slick Stick longbow 58" 40# @ 28"
Bodnik Kiowa 52" 45# @ 28"
Kanati 58" 46# @ 28" R.I.P (2007-2015)
Self-made Silk backed Hickory Board bow 67" 49# @ 28"
Bear Black Bear 60" 45# @28"

Ziricote is one of my favorite woods and would look great with black glass.

Mailman delivered...or should I say Chad Holm delivered! I'll post more pics in a separate thread when I get some pics of it outside (that will do it justice).

African Blackwood and black glass.

On a Hill style  longbow, I like the look of black glass on bamboo limbs with a myrtle wood riser, gloss finish.
