Joe, ask John to see the ebony he has. I am finishing a bow he made right now with it. It is killer, look good with osage in my opinion.

Thanks Todd
The osage aged on this bow, it really looks nice with the cocobolo

She's the second from the top

Brian, do you have a pic of the Ebony by any chance?? You ever work with Wenge, wondering how that would look with Osage...

Brian, I plan on visiting John the first of March. I have a gift for him, plus I have to see what he is working on and see if I fall for another of his bows. I want to find out about building a bow from wood from our farm. How often do you get over by him? I am about 40 minuts away. Is the bow you are working on, still there?

I think Good dark cocobolo with osage is jsut plain sexy - especially if one uses accents of each in the bow.

Good luck Joe.

Bob.
Bob, I like the looks of the Gabon as well, I'm thinking this would go great with Osage!

Joe, How about some highly figured rosewood?  It comes from a real gray color to a deep red color.
