Another option I would look at is Bocote and Macassar Ebony for the riser.  I've seen some other brand bows with this combo and thats what I'm gonna get next time.  

Thanks for the comments on my bow.

Rob, you'll like that combo.  I know I do.  I will let you know that in my pics that those are the second limbs I had to get. The first ones had very small air bubbles developing between the clear glass and the veneers.  Called chad and he called Chekmate.  Well They had another set made up in about a week and a half, because I had a draw hunt coming up and really wanted to use that bow.  My new limbs came back as flat grain Bocote.  They still are real pretty but not as pretty as the Birdseye Bocote.  Make sure you specify Birdseye Bocote venners.

Chad said I could send the new limbs back no problem, but after shooting them I said I'll take those.

Just to let you know.

My favorite is the CUJO special. LBR should be able to explain.
Good Luck on your bow!

BMOELLER,thanks for the info.I didn't specify birdseye,it wasn't a choice on the form.I have sent Chad an email to try and find out if I can get birdseye bocote as the limb veneers.I've been buggin that poor guy to death.

I bugged him too, but I guess thats what he's there for. Answer questions and make sure you get what you want.  And yes its not on the form but after looking at some of the pics on the site I was under the impression that that is what I would get.  Better to let him know than be disapointed.

Nice looking bow, Brian.  I really like the looks of bocote.  I've got a chekmate Sabre on order with a comination riser of bocote and cocobolo.  It should look nice.  I thought about bocote veneers, but opted for black walnut and clear glass.  I may have to order a set with bocote veneers in the future.
