2 new bows same form.

Here is two different styles of risers I was able to get out of the same form. I designed this new bow around the fact that I can hardly find any wood thicker than 1" around Albuquerque anymore. The only piece that is thicker than 1" is the crescent shape and it is only 8.5" long so I have enough extra wood for the crescents. Please tell me what style you like more all I am going to say is the bocote one is way easier and quicker to make.
Here is a profile picture of them strung and unstrung.

Hmmmm....both are great looking bows. I guess with that style of r/d bow, I kind of like the style of the one with the bacote riser better.
Again, both look great!

I like the style of the bocote riser better as well but would really have to see them up close and shoot them to say for sure.
