Any ideas on the riser wood? Kinda looks like Coco.

ron w · January 31, 2015, 05:48:00 PM

Nice one.......maybe cocobolo?

Could be macassar ebony actually.

That's a fine one. If lefty I would have found a way to snag it, though it was attractive even for being right handed.

Slammers are still and may always be the longbows I judge all others by.

Congrats, she sure is a beauty!

Those bird's-eye maple veneers are sure highly figured. The riser has a burgundy tint to it like cocobolo.

I just love the craftsmanship of Leon's bows and man do those slammers shoot!

Very nice dark wood in that riser, it's a beaut ! Best of luck with it.

KYArcher · January 31, 2015, 06:26:00 PM

Sweet looking Slammer!

Beautiful bow as expected. I shoot a refelxdeflex from Leon with bamboo limbs and snake skin face with similar dark ebony riser. It shoots wonderfully. You can not go wrong with a LS

Congrats on the new toy!!

joe vt · January 31, 2015, 09:52:00 PM

Because of the red hue in the riser I would vote for cocobola. Those veneers of birdseye maple are killer! Probably my favorite veneer of all time.

Awesome Bow, wish I needed it more than you when it was posted.

These are the first birds eye maple veneers I've had. They're beautiful! The pics don't do them justice. They're almost 3-D in color. I have an LS Longbow with birds eye maple cores and they're cool too!

Needed, Charlie? i got caught up in a want. That said, I'm glad you didn't "need" it more than me too.
