I believe so, although I'm not real sure what the darker wood in the riser is though since I bought this bow used.

The pics really don't do this bow justice!  After having it outside shooting today and looking it over in the sunlight I had to wipe my drool off it with a towel.   :p

Thanks guys!  

Danny - I consider myself very lucky to have found this one.  It's 5# lighter than Gray Ghost which is exactly what I wanted and it's Tiger Myrtle which I also wanted. It wouldn't have been any different than if I had ordered it.    :bigsmyl:

Kenneth- I believe that riser wood is walnut. I am going off of memory. The pics don't show enough detail for me to make it out on screen.

common woods I use (or suggest) with Tiger myrtle: Ziricoti, Walnut, Macassar.

There are others that would look good too, but have never gotten an argument out of any of those three.
thanks, bigjim

I'm with Macatawa, I like darker colors also on bows. That is a sweet looking bow Kenneth. I thought you were holding off for a Annewakee. Don't blame you for pulling the trigger on this one and if it shoots as good as it looks you done good.

Jim,  after getting it out in the sunlight I think its walnut too.  It's a little too light to be Macassar or Ziricote.  

You done good big guy!!  Of course I wouldn't expect anything else from you!   :readit:    :biglaugh:
