I need your advice. I am thinking about a Cari-bow Silver Fox and I always thought I would take one with a premium riser, as you can see beneath. This one is with Wenge and cocobole. Mind the limb wedge caps, they connect soo beatifull to the limbs and riser!

However, on Abe's site I saw a plain riser made from striped ebony and with French Walnut Burl Limbs. This is the second picture. One way or another, this bow calls my name. I also think that the French Walnut limbs wil look great without the antler and with antler limb bolts!

What would you choose????? (I think I need help)          


   


   

Wow... thats a tough one. The 1st really "pops" but the lower one is a classic beauty.

I feel the same....

pull out the coin and flip...better yet, Get both..

Please don't say that to me!   :(

I like the bow in the lower image better on looks.

But you know what happens when you marry for looks.      

Everyones tastes in beauty are different.  If you can't decide - door #3.  Keep looking.

That's like asking me to pick between my children. Abe's diamond riser is hard to beat but the woods in #2 are very classy. Sorry if I'm no help...Ryan

Your Dutch like me.... go with the more "subtle brilliance" of the ebony and walnut....

I love that bow.... Yea, I love that bow.

Ad: Rough thing to do is choose, they both are awesome. Good Luck Don

They both look great, but if they were both sitting there and I could only pick one, then the ebony/walnut one is my choice. Looks more "right" to me.

It is a tough thing in life to have to make such a difficult decision. LOL

Both bows are beautiful. Go with your gut feel. You are the one and the only one who can make the decision. You are the only one you have to please with your decision. One of them must stand out from the other for some reason. Even if it is a small reason - it is a reason. Take the one that tickles your fancy. It will continue to do so for a long time. If it doesn't, buy the other one at some time down the road.
 Good luck! Shoot often and shoot for the fun!
 Now to complicate it even more - I'd buy the striped ebony.

Both! I'd go with the bottom one, but if you go with the top maybe no antler

I'd choose the second for myself but that's really based completely on looks.  Any chance you can shoot them?

bottom one

No chance I can shoot them. If i order one, Abe will have to build it, bacuase they are not in his inventory. Even if they were; I live in The Netherlamds and Abe in Canada, Thanks God!  

I'll take the bottom one....darker, more figured wood.

Guess I'm the only one that likes the top one. With what I can see in the photos, if they both shot the same, I would choose the top one.
It's going to be your bow, you'll have to decide. Both are very nice though.

I like the Taiga,the bottom one ,very classic.I have a Taiga in solid cocobolo with Antler trim real nice classic look.

Hard choice! I do like the bottom one better though.

bottom one...no, top one....no, bottom one... no top one, heck flip a coin they're both awesome.
