Need opinions with wood choices for my Mohawk order
« on: December 07, 2011, 06:15:00 PM »
Ok I am ordering a mohawk longbow soon. Got the OK form the wife. I know what limb wood I'm going with. Boo cores with dirty boo veneers. I'm not sure on the riser wood. What I want and the wood I like the most is Osage but I don't know if that will look good with boo. I could throw a coco accent strip in the osage. What do you think.

Remember that Osage Orange is very yellow when first cut, but should mellow beautifully with age.  It looks like a nice honey amber color after a few years.  Look around here for osage pics.  I think it will make a nice combo.  Bloodwood would be a cool accent.

Hopefully you can see this, the long bow has Osage limbs.

Thanks for the input. Yep I think i'm going with what I like. Should be Boo limbs and osage riser.
Can't wait to see it.

Sounds like a good wood combo for a great bow.  Make sure to post pics when it arrives.
