Another vote for Osage! Even nicer as it ages.

Macassar ebony,Bolivian rosewood, or cocobolo would be my choices but I'm partial to dark woods.

Tom, I'm partial to dark woods as well. I was also thinking about some figured Koa and have been searching for pics of it in a bow with little luck. This is the only pic I could find...

You might be surprised how well Chechen or walnut would go with black

I have a Bob Lee that's all black micarta with black and white ebony accents( as mentioned several times!)...its awesome

AR RidgeRunner · « **Reply #28 on:** February 25, 2016, 08:00:00 PM »

Depends on how much contrast you want, everything goes with black. Curly maple, Osage, Myrtle for more contrast or Ziricote, Maccasar Ebony, Coco for less contrast. Black and White Ebony would be awesome if you've got that option.

If I went with black & white Ebony what limb veneers would you suggest.

AR RidgeRunner · « **Reply #30 on:** February 25, 2016, 08:24:00 PM »

I'd go with B&W limb veneers too

Black and White Ebony Fred.

I had a Big Jim that had a black and white ebony riser with Gaboon ebony.

With black and white ebony limbs.It was a looker

Jonathan, I like that combo a lot!

Where do you get the phenolic?

twigflicker · « **Reply #36 on:** February 26, 2016, 05:44:00 PM »

Mike,

That's a good question... I have a buddy that is helping me build them and he ordered the stuff... great big 'ole piece and it weighed a ton...

I'll see if I can get some info for you...

Mike at Rosewood archery has phenolic. Thanks, Chad

Hopewell Tom · « **Reply #38 on:** February 27, 2016, 07:45:00 AM »

Check out the New Stalker Bow thread below and have your question answered (to my mind at least...)
Quilted Maple.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I made my choice and will post pics once it done.
