I like them both, but I think the zebra goes best.

I'm ready to ship, honey locust sapling bow. Builtin arrow rest. Think its about 80@ 24", close nuff!!

 

And the full draw pic, need to make a low stretch string tho.....

 

I think my victim will be pleasantly surprised when he gets his bow....

bmorv,
Just keep in m8nd that cocobolo darkens over time so eventually it could look like the ipe unless it's Mexican cocobolo but yours doesn't look like mexican. no problem with that just if you like contrast the zebra would be the better choice.

Thanks for the responses on my riser choice.  I thought the votes would be more one way or the other, but it looks like they are pretty even.  After looking at the pics again, I'm leaning coco with a yellow heart accent.
