stik&string,
I know what you mean, Chads bows have the same affect on me.
I'm not good with wood and can't remember where I craped last but I think the veneers are bacote. The riser is the grey dymondwood. I hope I haven't lied to you. Chad may see this and correct me if I am.
I've always just asked Chad to make me something nice and he hasn't let me down yet.
By the way, the last one is the one my wife took. She fell in love with wood combo when I unpacked it. I'm still partial to the top one with the tamo ash, but they're all lookers.
