Cocobolo and curly Koa with buff horn tips.
I love my Elkheart! The coco is still pretty fresh in these pics from last spring. It has richened up a bit since then.

Got this bow a couple months ago from Gregg. 56" 53@28. Limbs are bocote, the riser is phenolic and cocobolo with buffalo horn overlays. This is one of the best looking bows I have seen and it shoots as good as it looks. Gregg makes a fine bow. I'm just like you, in anticipation of getting a new bow, I like to look at as many bows as I can to try and decide on wood options. It doesn't make the wait any easier though! My next one will have to have snake skins I believe.

Holy crap KS' that one is so nice almost makes me jealous!! Just wow. Im glad mine is just as fancy.
1/4 you will love the bow I have no doubt. It will make it hard to choose between it and the Phoenix when you feel like shooting I guarantee it.

Somebody delete this thread, it's about to cost me money!
More than that, I saw an inferno firsthand this weekend and Mr. Javaman is one fine bowyer!

As I'm not the original owner of my Elkheart, I mistook the core of my bow for carbon. Gregg noticed this in my post and was kind enough to inform me that it's Uni-Weft. It's such a nice shooting bow that I wanted to share this with you guys.
Best Regards.

If I were to name this bow, I would call it the "Screaming Indian".

Well half the battle of choosing woods is done, I just purchased these limb veneers from Idahocurt's website. I think they're going to look awesome on my Elkheart. Now to decide on a riser wood to compliment them.

Jack, I'm thinking of putting the darker part of the veneers toward the limb tips. Right now I'm leaning towards coco bolo, Macassar ebony or Zircote for the riser.

Fred, Those limbs are going to look Awesome Brother and I agree Ziricote or Wenge will look good with those..You always have good taste when you have a bow made so I know it won't be "Ugly"
