Steel -
I know what the right bow woods are, but the one on the left could be several - zebrawood and ziricote ?

I have a PSAX with ziricote and myrtle exactly like the one you pictured further up.

They are both very nice, for RH bows.    :D

Very good new to know. I just got rid of the rest of my compound bow stuff and am going over to Nixa in a little over a week to test drive some bows and hopefully order one. I've been looking really hard at a PLX in either bocote or myrtle burl

Naaa, life's too short to shoot an ugly bow. I'm gonna order me a PLX T/D Mon.  :jumper:

I agree.....this thread hasn't done anything to quell the BW recurve fever I've got going on right now.     :banghead:

I have had several over the years. My goto has been a PSAX Grey bark. The PL's are nice, but I am a recurve guy. Did a test drive on a PSR and loved it. Will definitely have one soon.

 Just bought a PCHX that should be here wednesday. I will post pics.

The KB is a really nice shooting short bow. I've owned near two dozen different 50" to 56" trad bows during the last 5 years and these KB's are pretty impressive to shoot. I set up the 54" and 56" KB's with a 10 strand SBD string and have been shooting the last two evenings. Both are very quiet and smooth at 27" draw, plus I'm stacking arrows in the bullseye better than I have for a while. The weight/design of the riser really makes these bows easier to shoot than most of the short bows I've owned.

Heck 7-9 weeks is nothing it flies by fast. 6-9 months on the other hand is very painfull, trust me I have another brand bow on order and am hoping for six months  :)

I suck at picking woods but thanks to this thread for some guidance!! if I can ever swing another one im thing maybe yew limbs and cocobolo riser or something
 
 
 
 

and my PSA with white deleted
     

I also have a basic greybark but weve all seen those, I do wish I had deleted the red and white on it though, after seeing those here...

Great looking bow Dave.  That's probably my favorite wood combo out there.
