After doing some searching I'm thinking of getting a bow custom built!

I like the look of a basic bow, like its carved from one big hunk of wood. Maybe one small accent stripe.

I would love to see some pics of your simple yet classy bows.

The link below goes to my two non-fancy bows. The top is a 1983 Deathmaster with a solid bubinga riser. The bottom bow is a 1995 DH Hunter with a purpleheart riser and accent stripe.

Here are a couple pics of a Rick Welch Dakota, the bow on the right in the first pic. This bow is Bocote but you could choose a less fancy wood. Very good preformers.

Check out Mahaska bows.  I don't own one or never shot one but they are simple and nice looking.  Joe

I get you night owl. The more I look at them the more I agree with you.

I like the looks of a bow like that. I think like you said it's that it looks like it's a wooden bow. Even when I see a truly beautiful bow that I really like in the back of my mind there is something garish about them.

I am liking massacar ebony more and more these days.
