What goes with Cocobolo

[Bear Heart]

I have settled on cocobolo veneers with a good amount of red to them.  What is your favorite riser wood to go with them?  There will be a little black micarta stripe in the riser.  This is for a TD griffin.

osage

Look at Matt Torno's bow up top here.... I think that is a Blacktail with Coco / Ebony. I always thought that was a pretty combo. I love the Blacktail footed riser, what a work of art.

Osage and Bacote.

Oregon myrtle is a sweet choice for a light contrast.

I like zebra

That zebra looks a lot like marblewood.

Is that a olive wood riser....it looks alot alike

I think Coco Bolo would be a nice choice with the riser as well.I do like Osage with Coco Bolo alot in a riser but not sure how that would work with Coco limbs and mostly  Osage riser with the micarta I beam?Might be good?If he could put Osage and Coco bolo in the riser along with the Micarta that would be sweet.

I think  black glass, then osage and Coco bolo on top would look nice for the riser overlays and tip overlays personally.

I just got my 2 piece bowbolt Griffin recently and its working out well for me.

Good luck with your bow.It will be nice whatever you decide on!

Gaboon Ebony or Wenge looks good and will make the Cocobolo pop.

[Bear Heart]

I didn't think about darker woods making it stand out.  Good idea.

cedar limbs go good with cocobola riser...

Hard to beat the contrast of Yew or Osage. Big Ed

Before I opened this, my first thought was an Osage accent in a Cocobolo handle.  Lots of good choices here.

I have cocobolo and black locust on my horne.  Like the Locust with it and it darkens with age like osage.

Juniper limbs would be awesome!!!!!!
