Limbs are Macasser face from Dave and Bocote I got from Mike Dunnaway at Wild Horse Creek Bows last fall on a hunt to KS. Riser is Macasser outside with Gaboon crescent with Bocote strips in between. It is FF.
HOLY CRAP!!! I didn't think those were striped Ebony. You've got the veneers that Brad (Biatholonman) and I picked out when he was here on a bear hunt in the Bob Marshall. Dave had told me that Beth emailed pics to a guy who ended up with those veneers. I spent a couple hours picking out wood. I ended up changing my mind when I gave Dave the "big deposit" on my bow. I ended up with a set of veneers out of the same pile that Beth had picked out. Once the limbs were layed up, my 2nd pick veneers, which are much bolder, all 4 match. The limbs are layed up where it looks like a solid piece (the back mirrors the belly) That's the only reason your veneers aren't in my bow. Your veneers got picked out of 100 by a master bowyer, and a Lead Grader (turned lathe operator) from the local plywood mill.
Your bow and mine were 2 of 4 that were in an order of "exotic silvertips, with flare"
