First stringing today. I got a long way to go to find a bow in it but am liking it so far.

Just me, but I'd put the marking for top and bottom limb in a more discreet place  :laughing:  
J/K. Looks great so far!!!
What is the darker wood in the riser and limbs?

Well I thought about painting one orange so they didn't get put on wrong but I was afraid I'd forget which one it was. Lol
Those will get removed at some point. The dark wood is macasser ebony. I have used it in limbs before but this piece turned out darker than I was hoping for. I wanted a dark colored bow for ground blind hunting. Got a lot of work to be done need to start working on shaping the riser

Got the riser roughed out pretty much where I want it. Fitted the limbs to it just need to put tips on them.
