Hi all!
I am contemplating my first Custom Longbow. It will be a Hill Style, straight grip, 68-70" and draw weight will be in the 70-75@28 range. I am leaning towards Bamboo limbs, most likely clear backing on the limbs. My biggest quandry at this point is deciding on a riser wood to accent the bamboo. As this will be my first custom longbow I want the bow to be a shooter first and foremost but I do want the bow to be pleasing to the eye as well.
I would like to hear suggestions on wood combinations and would love to see pics if you have them handy of your favorite combination.
