What was it without considering the shootability and doesn't have to be one you owned?

I have always thought the Zipper elkaholic was a magnificent piece of work.

Otherwise zebra with dark accents is a beauty.

A "Snakebit" from Norm Johnson at Blacktail bows.  Snakewood footed with ebony.

GRAYBEARD

A number of Leon Stewart's pieces come to mind.

Red Boar

This one from my Morrison Cheyenne...I ended up selling it because I shot it very inconsistently.  It's beauty was unmatched however. Macassar ebony and Cocobolo.

Red Boar

I think my current one is beautiful as well. Treadway: Kingwood, Zebrawood and Leopardwood, bamboo cores. Not a 3 piece, but a great mix of woods.

I kinda like my Zipper SXT.   :goldtooth:   Figured Zebrawood with Bocote.


 

But really like this one as well  :biglaugh:  Bocote and Zircote

The most beautiful bow I have ever seen is a Bighorn 96 Special Edition.Unfortunatly they never made a left hand one.The others are all close seconds.

Although I've only seen them in photos so far, pretty much anything by Bob Lee.  Those are gorgeous bows.

I have seen some real nice Zippers, mine is a plain Jane in Curly Maple. But the are a lot of nice ones out there. I like Cocobolo and Osage, Tamo Ash lams or Zebra wood. Many ,many choices!!!!!!!Blacktails, Dwyers, Stalkers, the list can go on and on!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Never held one of those Dale Dye's with Pierce Points, but the pictures are striking.

Shoot some Zippers and a Bear.

Blacktail by Norm Johnson comes to mind. A friend just got a new Thunderhorn in bacote that is unbelievably beautiful then at Western States this fella had Howard Hill with ebony riser and bocote veneers under the clearest high gloss glass I've ever seen then...... Great bowyers out there with an eye for artistry. Thanks to all for the eye candy.

I'm kind of partial to this Blacktail. Very special piece of figured myrtlewood that Norm picked out. The bol.rosewood has the wide black bands.

Of course then there's a Snakebit footed with wenge, footed limbs with snakewood and lacewood...

I have an Acadian Treestick TD made by Tim Mullins that - for sheer beauty, is a hard one to beat.

Impressive snag!  :clapper:  I really like my Zipper ZSR riser but for the most part, I like to see the riser AND limb combinations that you just drool over. There are a lot of them out.

I'm a big fan of the elkaholic also.  If you've ever held one they have a great feel also.

Andy Cooper

This un's my favorite so far...but there is another one in progress!

Winterhawk had a Stalker with osage and cocobola I think that was stunning. He has a great mind for ordering beautiful wood combinations. I think he had a Zipper that was ebony and tulipwood that was lights out too!
