Finding a nice piece of wood online is a big P.I.A.!
I've Googled for days and the problem is most places I find don't have a pic of the piece of wood you are interested in or it's not big enough.
Am having a new bow built and I was really set on Macassar Ebony but the Bowery is warning me against it because it's so hard to get it stable and it shrinks which I've been through before, so now am up in arms with which wood to go with. I'd like something medium brown with black streaking and I think what ever I go with for the main wood it will be footed with wenge. I'm looking into the rosewoods right now..Bolivian seems to be close to the look am searching for. Maybe some pau ferro. Actually aren't those the same wood?
Any ideas or sources would be greatly appreciated.
Oh yeah it's a Whippenstick Hellfire
TIA
Edit: Not interested in Cocobolo or Ziricote and Kingwood is out for the same reasons as the Ebony
