Everyone has a different idea which wood is best.

The best WOULD I can get right now is IF MINE WOULD SHOW UP....

Sorry I am at work doing Damage control after I was gone for 5 WEEKS...so I am alittle punchy right now.

BUT HEY - I am off for another 11 weeks in 2 weeks...hmmm gotta love it.

See some of you real soon...jer bear

Moose that is beautiful Pau Ferro. I ordered it in a riser once and it didn't look anything like that, very nice.

Im with you TJ that Ferro looks like a well aged Osage, beautiful.

Thanks guys. I had another Widow with Pau Ferro handle that looked very similar to the shelf side of my riser. The opposite side has a nice "swirly" pattern to it, similar to some of the walnut used on high end guns...Mike

mooseman76, I thought I saw that bow on the classified's this weekend. Did you decide not to sell. I was close to sending you an email....very nice looking bow!

mooseman76 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 26, 2010, 08:57:00 AM »

I did, I was able to work something out to keep the bow in the stable for now...Mike

I have a PSA that has a Coca-bola riser with yew veneers that is stunning. Both are very heavily figured with black phenolic and black tips.
I had always been a longbow person for the last 5-6 years and never thought I would change. I was never much of a Widow fan due to the looks but was always impressed with the handle forward and high brace height which makes it almost impossible to torque the bow. I literally gained 10 yards over my longbows almost immediately and I think I could wear a parka and not hit my arm with the string. Made a believer out of a non believer.
