Grey stained birdseye maple looks great also.  I like the lighter woods because they tend to show their grain better.  All good shooters.

The top bow in my post is a Pau Ferro riser and curly maple veneers.  I really wanted it in my new longbow, but they didn't have any with that much figure in it.  I went with cocobolo riser and yew limbs...Mike

Here is mine that I got from zmonster, bolivian rosewood riser with burly maple, no red stripes, white and black stripes in the riser instead.

Jarrod, that is a sharp looking bow. That is the one I would go with! Although, you can't go wrong with a Black Widow.

Good luck... There's lots to choose from.  I'm sure you will find a combo that works for you.

We differ much as to what appeals to us and what doesn't. Even though I don't own a BW, I find them aethetically one of my favorite appealing designs and that was even before the PCH.

You will need no luck in finding a wonderful combination. Indecision may end up being your nemisis since there are so many beautiful BW combinations. I used to have a large file of BW pics just because there were so appealing to me. The long list was actually widdled down to about five favorites and I wasn't evening planning on procuring one.

Get them to do one for you with macassar ebony and curley koa. I doubt that there is a more strikingly beautiful combination. God bless and good luck, Steve

Similar to the Golden Anniversary bows they introduced to celebrate their 50th year.
Now THAT sounds like a beautiful combination!  Especially when the Osage begins to turn as TW mentioned above...   ;)
