The light stripe might be walnut ( likely) or shedua.  The rest of the riser and the overlay looks like bubinga. Not a good enough pix of the limbs to make a judgment on the laminations, but the fella out of Iowa who built Shawnee longbows a while back tended to use elm in the limbs.  Don't know if he's the same builder. Handle pistol grip shape kind of looks like one of his though.

I think bubinga and shedua as someone above said, actually pretty sure on the bubinga and the limbs are red elm. Shawn
