One of my favorites... Cocobolo and Osage... Not my bow, but still a favorite...

   
   

Another favorite... Macassur Ebony and Tulipwood.  This one I bought used, sold and tracked it down again and got it back again... It's actually laying on the couch next to me as I type.  Just nice to look at...

Osage and black walnut!  Plus it will look even better as the osage mellows over time.

That's like asking if blonds, brunettes, or redheads are prettier!  I love them all!

But when it comes down to it I'm partial to Cocobolo and Osage.  Here is my RER LX.  The Osage has since darkened up, and that's what I really like about Osage - it just keeps getting better and better!

ya know, i've always been drawn to the plain "vanilla" bows that have the grey action wood. yeah, i know its not as fancy as some of the exotic woods, but just as functional.
