Ok I'm looking to get a new 1 piece longbow made. I've been researching the best riser woods and have come down to a couple. I'm going to do a 2 wood riser and I already have a recurve with cocobolo and bocote in it. I know I like that combo but I'm going to go the opposite direction with this one. I'm thinking Pau Ferro and Ziricote. Does anyone have this combination or something similar that would like to show some pics? Thanks, Jeff

Wow, the stippling on those hoots bow handles is truly a work of art!

Anybody else have some bows with dark risers? I'd really like to see some more. I'm going with a pau ferro/wenge riser and myrtle limbs.

I sprayed mine with Krylon paint. It's dark now.

Micarta/Bocote really like the extra weight the Micarta offers. In a one piece that would be a no brainer for me to add for stability.

Merado and Wenge

Tom, ive always loved the pictures you post of your Merado and Wenge Zipper ! Beautiful bow !

A Morrison ILF in black phenolic, cocobolo, and some kind of ebony I think. I just realized I deleted any decent pictures of this riser with limbs I sold and don't own anymore. Sorry for lousy photos. It's a nice looking riser though.

What are some dark woods grown in North America? I see a lot of exotic hard woods, but I'd really like to get a bow that was both made and 'grown' in North America. The problem is most of the native woods I've seen are light in colour.
