As it's been said. ANY of the woods people are saying work. It's almost a perfect match for any bow. No matter what you choose it'll look good. Some real nice bows up there fellas!

Zebra wood or bocote look good with black glass.

I love the B&W ebony with black glass.  I also like the black glass accents through the riser like those shown in Zradix's pics.  A reddish coco or dark bocote also look great.  I'd want something that had a nice black grain in the wood rather than brown.  On the flip side is something like a very light myrtle burl for the contrast.  There is a pic of the Robertson new "wolfer" bow that has a very light myrtle with black accents in the handle.

This may sound cheesy, especially with me being an exotic wood junkie, but I think gray actionwood is stunning with black glass.
I sold the bow below long ago, but add a gray ratsnake to black glass and gray actionwood and....I wish I still had this bow...

My favorite is kingwood. Riser also has an ebony saddle with grey actionwood limb cores and accents.

Thanks,

I've seen some black and white ebony with black glass that has me looking for a piece of that stuff right now.

Zradix what a beautiful Whip. Bocote and black is stunning.

My black Wesley Special has a black ebony riser.

Thanks CB. I made that bow for a bow swap several years ago. It went to Steve at voodoo customs. He supplied the kingwood and the rest was at my discretion. Mike

Cocobolo, or zebrawood.

Those are some crazy lines on that bow!  Do you have a pic strung?  Very nice wood there too.

[Zradix]

sorta reminds me of an old Herter's Perfection 46 I used to have.

The Herter's was surprisingly nice for such a short bow...only a 40" string.

This one of Tenbrook's is a heck of a lot prettier...I'll bet it shoots better too.

WOW    :eek:

I was under the impression that Cody's shorties were Herter's perfection 46 replicas (with style). Is this accurate?
