Picked up this Griffin a few months back. Great shooting bow and the TradGanger I bought it from thought the riser was Bubinga. Tamo Ash limb's but it looks more like Tulipwood to me. What do you think?

I would say Tulipwood also.IMHO

Not much to tell really, I went to Johns one day, drooled on a stick of tulipwood and then a few days, weeks month or two, can't remember for sure,later I went back and drooled on the bow. It is nothing more than a typical Griffin. And by "typical" I mean SWEET! Johns bows are very nice. you have a great bow. I visit with John fom time to time and feel blessed to see and feel his work in all stages. Top shelf no-doubt.
We have been friends for many years and he is to blame(in part) for my choice of careers. Thanks John! No, really THANK YOU. Oh! I forgot, John does not have a computer.
