Orange Tint Cocobolo will always look sharp with the yellows & oranges.  

Check out Scott's new Limited Edition Exhibition Grade Cocobolo on his site
 www.timberhawkbows.com

Here is one of my Timberhawks with a Chechen Riser, red micarta sandwiched in two maples, with Olive Ash veneers on the back, and lams of Black Locust stained with Osage stain .

2 of my favorite looking Hill style longbows are yew limbed.  1 with a dark ziricote riser and the other had a light colored myrtle.  Both were sweet looking.

Cocobolo, dark rosewood, or just about any darker woods with good grain lines go well with yew. The two I mentioned above would be my picks though.

This is my Liberty Edge; a Bocote riser with Yew core. I've got Coco and Yew in my Liberty Chief and my Contender, also very pretty. You've got a tough decision!  I hope we're helping...

Coco does look great with yew.  For something slightly different, I really like kingwood with yew too.
