Title: another bow wood question
Post by: bornagainbowhunter on March 01, 2010, 05:07:00 PM

I know the bow wood questions are about to wear all of yall out, but I have another one.  I am going to order a new Robertson Tribal Styk.  I have decided on Bocote limbs.  The question I have is about the 2nd wood.  I was wondering if Brazilian Rosewood would look good when paired up with Bocote?

I just love the grain in Bocote.  I need a wood that would make it stand out while still looking like it belongs in the bow.

I thought the hardest part was getting the wife to agree that I needed ANOTHER bow.  Then I started trying to make the wood selections...  This is the hard part.  :knothead:

Osage looks really nice with Bocote.

Osage does go well with bacote.  Walnut would look nice too.

hard to beat cocobola with bacote.  I have two bows with that combination.  Never seen rosewood with it but that and ebony might be nice with it.

I have and had several Robertson and I love both Bocote and Cocobolo or brasilian by the way,but i think together they don't lok good.I would go with Ebony or a lighter color wood.
