My new BigJim Buffalo is in the box as I type this, it will be another hour or so before I get to open it  It has a kingwood riser with zircote accent, koa and quilted maple veneers.

Just got my Macassar ebony with ebony riser and stained yellow birch accents from Striker yesterday and love it. Ordered another Striker today with maccassar limbs and osage riser with maccassar flare. I think it will be my new favorite when the osage get's good and aged.
Striker stinger 58" 55# @ 28
any wood bow I pick off the rack.

I have a Whippenstick that's a couple weeks away now. Macassar footed with Wenge and Osage accents, I used the Osage because I know it will aged and blend in nicely.
Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.
