Jason had some posted a while back, but they are no longer viewable. I would have to send pics to someone by e-mail. Basic Kanati, walnut dymondwood riser/brown glass.
Do a search for new brown glass, and a thread called Gordon's new brown glass will come up. Charlie Lamb posted a picture, of a bow, with the new color.

My preference is yew in the core and a myrtle riser, but there are several combinations that look great with brown glass.

here are a few of the Grizzly's I mentioned.  Sorry, can't see the brown glass that well.  I sold all but one of these

 

 

Then there's a 1956 Kodiak with maple and brown glass

BWD...

Thanks for the tips.
I searched them out.
Found the comparo that Kenny did.

Have to admit...I like the old brown like in the Bears above better.
..but whata do?..Only can use what's being made.

The new stuff doesn't look bad though, that's for sure.

I'll bet it does look very nice next to the walnut action/dymond wood. Has what looks to be a nice tone to go with it.

bwd..

If ya'd like to send those pics of the Kanati my way it would be much appreciated....Keep tossing the idea around of having one built and can't decide which woods.

My email is [email protected].

Thanks   :thumbsup:

Shedua, one of the best looking of all bow woods, and if you can mix it with ebony it looks great. Get the new brown glass it is better color than that old redish brown colored glass, the new is a more chocolate colored also they have carmel colored that looks great on the belly with brown on the face.

Anything that James Berry wants to put between it, other than those fiber board or balsa laminations.
