Title: Osage orange/hedge & ???
Post by: 10gaugemag on October 29, 2022, 04:52:54 PM: Thinking about a new custom take down.

Wanting Hedge/Osage Orange and a darker wood or black combo on the riser.

Maybe Osage orange on the back of limbs if possible??

Dark colored face on limbs.

Anybody else have something similar to this color scheme?

Pics?

Osage and Cocobolo is a BEAUTIFUL combo together.
Did a quick search on the net and found a bow or two with this combination. Very sharp looking for sure.

Like this as a riser combo now I need to figure out what I want for back and belly of the limbs.

Post by: bulldog18 on November 04, 2022, 08:09:10 AM: Osage and cocobolo will be the most popular. Another choice would be zircote.

Post by: DVSHUNTER on November 04, 2022, 06:41:43 PM: I would go with a light color like maple because it will look great as the osage darkens.
