Wenge would be my choice.  If you want some color Osage,wenge, and bloodwood.  PM me with your email I'll send you a pic that will blow you away!

I like cocobola and zebrawood in the riser with zebrawood veneers for the limbs.

Zircote would give a nice contrast of light and dark.

I have an all zebrawood bow.  Wavy grain on belly and stripe on outside limbs.  Looks cool.  Can't spot it in the woods.

Is Zebrawood strong enough to be used by itself without phenolic or glass accents?
