I'll bet 95% of the custom bows made in the last 30 years have clear glass

With the color of those limbs streaking should not be a problem. The darker the wood the worse they will show. Enjoy your new bow!

I've had it both ways, but am very biased towards clear glass. I love the look of the wood, so it's a no brainer for me. I did however own a Hill Wesley with an Ebony riser that had black glass back and belly. It was a looker, but I still like my clear glass better.

I go afield with bent wood, stick and string in search of serenity  through my primal quest.

I have had several custom bows built with clear glass over fancy veneers, and man are they pretty.
But I never expected perfect.
In the end my bows are nothing but tools for killing.
I don't want the guy building my bow to freak out over some minor imperfection in the looks.
Only a snowflake is perfect, cause they are all different.
