Jason, I believe it is Wenge. Seems like they started calling Wenge maybe 10 years ago or so. Not positive, but I think that's the case. As you know, I shoot a Super Necedah from that same time frame and it shoots great. Yes, I would work it slowly up to full draw to make sure it has no problems, but if you get it there, it should be fine.

This bow is looking like a gem in the ruff. I was a little worried it wouldn't come very clean but After some major elbow greese its lookin great.

couple of pics of what I was able to get done tonight.
A nice soft wash with just some warm water and a couple different sponges to scrub with.

These played very difficult to remove. Won't need these with some new Bow hush Coming in the mail.

Then some finish revitalizer and some more elbo greese and some buffing and here she is.

Man he is going to be blown away. I'm gettin so stoked to give it back to him.

You make me proud young man. It is indeed a Shakespeare Necedah, and a beauty. This is what real archery is about.

Good man and nice work on that bow.

Danny Rowan · « **Reply #26 on:** January 22, 2007, 02:29:00 AM »

Nice work. I do not know but do not think it is wenge, wenge is a deep chocolate color almost black, never seen any that light. Pretty wood though.

Benge- Guibourtia arnolda- West Africa

Wenge- Millettia laurentii- Central Africa

Two different woods, from what I could find on a web search, the wood in this bow looks like Benge.

Just though some would like to know.

Kevin,
Hopefully we can get toghether when the first arrow is launched out of her. I don't think its shot an arrow in a long time. Everyone thats given such nice comments Thankyou the family here is strong and tight. So tight that after I posted this and recieved the responce that I did it really pushed me to become a contributing member of this sight. I signed on about a day ago to help support this sight to my fullest extent. It is so special of a sight and the folks on here are nothing below top notch. Thanks Tradgang

Now I wait patiently for all of the equipment on the way to finish Rogers Bow.

Very Nice, it looks like zebrawood to me. I have a Bear that is Zebra and looks a lot like it. Shawn
