I was wondering about a possible accent flare.

I'm getting a bocote riser and bocote lam recurve.

May add an accent flare?..

Any wood ideas you guys think?.

Thank you..

To me yellow looks great with bocote ...

That's canary spliced up with bocote a couple years back in the Bowyers Bench Bowswap.

I agree with Kenny yellow looks great with Bocote, osage is a favorite of mine.

Black Phenolic looks sweet with bocote There is also Osage in this one

I like bocote with something dark. Ebony, wenge, or ziricote would be my choice.

This Blacktail is bocote footed with wenge:

Cocobolo goes well with Bocote.

I would go with cocobolo if it was mine.

Gator....what kind'a of bow.......I think the size of the riser can effect the overall look. To much may take away from the other and visa-versa. I'm a fan of Osage but it may darken to much with the bocote and lose the contrast.

Seems to me it would be harder to determine what does not look good with bocote...I finally figured out that my LXR that I thought was bocote and bloodwood in the riser is wenge and bloodwood which go very nicely with the bocote limb veneers and overlays

I've been thinking lately that Bocote with Bloodwood would be a good contrast. LOL...great minds Dave...

Ron

It's gonna be a RER XR...

How bout darker and lighter bocote?..

Easykeeper · « **Reply #11 on:** January 18, 2014, 08:01:00 PM »

Any way you can get an idea of the tone of the bocote they will use in your bow and then make the choice? Like you said, bocote has a wide range of color.

Gator1 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 18, 2014, 08:10:00 PM »

Good idea I'll double check.

I'm now kind of leaning toward a darker tone like your blacktail....

Easykeeper · « **Reply #13 on:** January 18, 2014, 08:11:00 PM »

The Blacktail website has quite a few photos of bocote risers with different woods used for the flare/foot.

The thing is I have no idea who made the wood choices in my bow...it was kind of wandering looking for a home when it found me...pretty sure if you just ask Kevin what he has that will go well together he will come up with something between nice and incredible...more likely toward the incredible side

You are right... No overthinking give Kevin free reign....

Then the wait begins.....

Black Phenolic and Bocote look great together!

Gen273 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 18, 2014, 09:00:00 PM »

zebrawood looks good with bocote, as does cocobolo. However, I also like an all bocote riser.
