Riser accent options (pics)
« on: March 17, 2011, 08:18:00 PM »
I have a chunk of Wenge that is kid of a experiment in finishing (its a pain) so I figure I'll add a accent to it and I have a few choices. Take a look and tell me what you think good and bad.
#1) Singe bamboo.
#2)Single Bubinga
#3)Boo over micarta
#4)Boo over Bubinga
#5)Boo, micarta,bubinga

Last one I did was similar to #3.

Here is a pic.

Hope it helps

My preference is #3 too.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

It's unusual for me but I agree with the majority so far and it's #3.

Tenbrook..........

I really like the rustic bow on the bottom in your pic. Do you have a pic of it strung?
