What wood do you like with brown glass? Maybe, I've asked this before....

The link below shows a Whip I have that is Macassar w/brown glass. The glass is chocolate milk colored and I really like it. Also love the Macassar but would like to change it up next time around.

Wood recommendations and pics are welcome.

I think a nice piece of Bacote would look nice with brown glass.

Bocote or zebrawood, maybe Myrtle. Phenolic could be nice too.

I like shedua or goncalo alves with a brown glass bow,just my personal taste.

Definately Osage...especially when it darkens with age

Any wood works with brown.

Whatever Allen Boice used on my Liberty longbow. I think it was Yew. It looks good.

one of my RERs has a Ziricote riser, with tan phenolic stripes and koa limb veneers, but brown glass on the belly. it's purdy! my Maddog has green actionwood riser and brown glass limbs. that's a classic look.

Tradcat, we think alike. I saw a hill style bow with brown glass and aged Osage, it looked AWESOME!

With brown glass I like Zebrawood A LOT. Myrtle also. Bubinga too. Marblewood, Gonçalo Alves, Shedua are also nice.

Bacote or a really nice figured maple

TxAg · « **Reply #16 on:** June 04, 2015, 06:32:00 PM »

Sixby · « **Reply #17 on:** June 04, 2015, 08:28:00 PM »
