Opinions needed for Kenny's give away

[TradBowyer]

Hi everyone....I was the lucky one who won Kenny's latest giveaway..the box elder veneers. I'm thinking of doing a build a long here for fun and to kinda have you all be a part of this...first decision is hill style longbow or D/R takedown....what riser do you think would look good with these? I'm thinking something along the lines of a curly or Birdseye maple...or possibly Myrtle? Any suggestions you may have? Here's a pic of the veneers.

D/R with something Redish if that’s a word for riser, Redheart, Bubinga...

Send them to me for a closer examination.  Thereafter I will return them along with suggestions . . . . . . or not!

A hill style build along would be cool since we don't see many.

I like the idea of maple riser. Maybe some fine accents/overlays of red heart or red micarta.

My vote goes for Zircote or something dark.

D/R with tulipwood riser.

Mongolian?

Thanks all....I really like the tulipwood idea...however I've ordered it before and it's a crapshoot as to what you get. There's no place around me that sells it so I can't go look at them.  I'm really looking at some nice figured maple for the riser. I'll make a decision tonight so I can let Kenny know.

Hill Style.  We see an awful lot of 3-piece takedowns, and darn few on-piece bows. 

Classic Hill style riser, but without the leather wrap.  Make the handle in multiple pieces of different woods;unless you know how to do checkering, like on a firearm; then do the riser in a dark wood and checker the hand grip area...

Mike at Rosewood could probably help with tulipwood.

Mike at Rosewood could probably help with tulipwood.

and the grain will be running in the correct direction for a riser .

If you call him , tell him it's a riser
