I rather like walnut and fiddleback maple on my Lost Creek Judge.

Walnut and osage is sweet, but so is walnut and bloodwood or walnut and purple heart. Walnut with maple is very nice but many don't want such a stark contrast.
Most anything would look good with it as long as there is enough contrast in either grain and/or color to noticelbly separate the two without great examination.

good luck, bigjim

Birdseye!

Cocobolo goes well with it also

My vote goes to Osage. I have put a lot of thought in to what woods would be in my next bow and I have come down to walnut and osage.

If you go with walnut and tigerwood you will retain the orange color much better than with sage. I love the walnut and tigerwood combo and hae used it several times.

God bless, Steve

Sixby, I have to agree with you. That's walnut and tigerwood on the lower bow.

To many choices. Anybody have pics of bow with olive burl? Thank you.

Maple is in my opinion the perfect contrast to walnut. Fiddleback, curly, birdseye, tiger stripe, or just plain clear maple ... you're pick

britt · « **Reply #30 on:** June 26, 2013, 01:20:00 PM »

Well I made my mind up. I am going with walnut and osage riser. Cory (heartland bows) is building a 3 piece for me. Will post pics when down. Thanks for suggestions.

One of the prettiest recurves I have seen was an old Rocky Mountain Recuve walnut with Purpleheart..... I wish I would have bought one back then.

I have a birdseye maple and black walnut and looks nice.

The rocky's weren't walnut, the were rosewood. I still have 2 originals. One rosewood/maple, one rosewood/purpleheart.

Elk Antler Riser goes good!

Steve Turay from Northern Mist built me one of his Ottowa recurves.
Walnut dymondwood riser and white ash limbs.
What a looker!

VictoryHunter · « **Reply #36 on:** June 26, 2013, 06:35:00 PM »

Lonewolf that is an inredible looking bow!

I'd probably go with one of the following

Light contrast:
figured maple or figured myrtle

Dark reddish contrast:
cocobolo or snakewood

Similar colors:
wenge or ebony (one of the darker varieties)

Hummer3T · « **Reply #38 on:** June 28, 2013, 12:09:00 AM »

Curly maple
