I am having Jim Neaves at Centaur build a bow for me. I bought some awesome cocobolo veneers from Stalker bows and am in the process of deciding on the riser wood. May do an all coco bow or maybe half coco and half something very dark (ebony,wenge) for the palm part of the handle. Any ideas or pics would be appreciated.

Thanks, Kevin

no mate go osage awesome wood  

Bocote goes well with coco.  I like coco risers with a bocote accent stripe or flare.  I also like black ebony with coco as an accent.  Another one that does well is bloodwood.

Most any type of maple goes great with cocobolo.
Here is one I made sometime back.

Cocobola and Yew is one of my favorites!!

Zircote or Macasser would be my pick.

African Blackwood seems to be easier to get a hold of these days.

gaboon ebony

I second Cocobolo & Yew

Coco and yew

I'm with Danny Ebony but have liked yew !! I dont think you can go wrong with anything Jim bows are all lookers

Ebony with a coco accent would go great with coco limbs.

Cocobolo and osage

Coco and blood. Have an RER riser with it

Just got a new Hummingbird TD longbow in coco and marblewood riser. Limbs with leopard wood veneers. Get all kinds of compliments.

BACOTE looks good with Coco

BINGO!!!

Osage
Snakewood
M ebony
Koa
Myrtle
Mango
Cocobolo with black accent like phenolic or ebony

I have to agree almost anything goes with a nice piece of cocobolo, yet I'm personally always partial to mac ebony combinations

Here is my Lynx riser. I am not sure if it is Cocobolo as I got it at the swap meet at D.H. The previous owner was not sure. This one has the black micarta.
