Todd that looks good.
A few years ago I bought some wenge 1x8x96", cost me $94. Hate to see what it cost now. I still got some chunks of it hiding under the dust in my shop.

Nice! Last bow I finished had a wenge riser and they look great once they are finished. Going to watch this one!

Well, I got a little bit done this afternoon.
 

I cant decide which way to go with the limbs. Maybe walnut?
 

Maybe sassafras?
 

Wonder what ....... might like?

Looking good! Hmmmm I like both as far as looks but I have not seen any sassafras on here so that would be my vote.
