I just bought an Elkheart from him at the show in Kalamazoo, it's Birdseye Maple limbs and riser, stained with hickory, I absolutely love it!  I don't have pictures of it to post right now, but can take some and email to you.

Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

Mark,
Do you like light or dark bows? The tiger myrtle makes a nice looking limb. I had two BW with that on the limbs and they were really nice to look at.
When did you order? So I know when to nail down my wood combos. (I've been on the list for a few months.)  For mine for the riser I'm leaning towards gray diamond wood or whatever it's called now.  Mine will have a fairly heavy draw weight and I have had exotics crack on small riser in the past.

Mark,
  This one wasn't built for me, bought it used.
Amo ash lams, bamboo and fiberglass in the limbs, and katalox (sp) in the riser. Shoots like a dream.

Tell the bowyer what you like ( dark or light) look and have him surprise you. I did that before and was pleasingly surprised.

Alan i wish i could do that lol as that would be so simple but to be paying such a high price for a custom bow and to not have a hand in it would equal many sleepless nights for me
