Your Favorite wood combinations?

Or you could get claro walnut and yew or osage for a great combo.

I've always been partial to cocobolo, and the ebonies, and Myrtle, and walnut, and burls, and, and, and ...  Maybe that's why I have so many bows! Not because I need another one to shoot, I just like looking at them. Lol. Too hard to choose just one.

Well, I have every wood mentioned in this post currently in my shop in quantity.

I am partial to a lot so when people ask what my favorite is, I usually say I don't really have one...but apparently it must be black and white ebony as I have four bows of my own (I can't stop selling my personal bows or I would have a hundred) and three of the four are black and white.

Having said that, I usually go with a brown or all black with accents in the riser.

I do have a mound of beautiful Koa and Macassar too. I probably have a couple hundred bd feet of bocote as well.

Good luck as choosing the wood combo's seems to be the hardest, BigJIm

My Tastes are the same as Phoenix archers. I live dark Browns and subtle contrasts.

I also am like Big Jim in the fact that I can appreciate any nice wood.

I really love Osage with cocobolo. If I had to pick a second, I'd pick the combo of tiger myrtle and claro walnut. Honestly anything with claro walnut usually turns out insanely awesome.

Phenolic also looks great with any other wood, creates a great light and dark contrast and adds a lot of weight.

Danny wow!!!!  I love that Gabon/b/w ebony bow - hummmm do I really need another bow - I'm thinking yes:)

I've had two Abbott's with cocobolo riser and yew limbs. Very nice.

I really like Bacote and Osage together. Saw some really nice Sasafrass in a bow once.

My last custom was not made by Jim but I did get my wood from him.  Its a combo I have wanted for a long, long time.  Macasar ebony riser and koa limb veneers.  I love the result.  I'll post some pics when I get back to my home computer.

So many to pick from, but I like Myrtle and Rosewood. Also like Ebony with Gray Maple or Cocobolo.

I like cocobolo and macassar ebony for risers, but not together, and myrtle for limb veneers
