Hey,
As usual I'm thinking about what I would put into a custom bow if I were to order one and I wanted to know what do you guys think is the most beautiful wood? I really like black andhite ebony and spalted maple. What do you guys think is the most figured or beautiful wood out there?

In limbs, Tamo ash or (if you like a darker wood) birds-eye bocote. In a riser, bocote, bolivian rosewood, chechen, cocobolo--a combo of any two.

I like Bocote and Juniper. BUT if you really like the ebony and maple then go with it.

I'm partial to some mince dark red with black striped Cocobolo with some Curly Maple thrown in there. Take a look at some Quilted Sapele as well, very expensive and rare as well.
Got a Birdseye Bocote River Edge Arroyo coming in January too, awesome looking wood as well.

Lacewood, bocote, cocobolo, zebrawood, juniper, and the like are all ones that I like,but My pick for the most most figured and beautiful woods are ziricote and snakewood.

Edit: I forgot Moon Ebony is pretty darn sweet too!

the 'hill cheetah's juniper is really nice.

The niced looking bow I've ever seen was a string follow longbow with yew limbs and cocobolo riser, a dark red/black like bucksnort mentioned. Beautiful.

WOW! That "Quilted Maple" is some Fine Looking Wood!! I Like Cocobolo and Zebrawood Too!

Nerksa, I think you picked two of the prettiest. Never seen black and white ebony until that Centaur pick was posted, probably will be in my next bow! I love spalted maple, most any spalted wood is a looker to me but especially spalted maple. If you like those types of color/figure, you may also like olive wood, I've seen some gorgeous examples of that too.

Before seeing the b&w ebony, my favorites were bocote and macassar ebony in a combo...or zebra wood and gaboon ebony.

I am kind of partial to quilted maple.

MrBadExample · « **Reply #18 on:** September 20, 2007, 11:14:00 AM »

My favorite is snakewood.

Haf2hunt · « **Reply #19 on:** September 20, 2007, 11:24:00 AM »

Hard to get but in my opinion the prettiest colored wood is ziricote from south america.
