I have a 1 pc that Beth helped me with after many conversations we picked coco with bacote veeners on the limbs . It is on the schafer web site sitting on the work bench , totally a work of art . I wouldn't have one without the checkered grip .

Desert ironwood isn't a bad choice....

Izzy · « **Reply #42 on:** December 06, 2015, 09:35:00 AM »

That desert ironwood is about as cool as it gets but less common than unicorns. I'm pretty sold on a subtle, quilted maple. It is a lethal looking combo when paired with charcoal dymondwood.

Or how about quilted maple on the belly and eastern diamond back on the back. Do you remember this one from Wild things?

Izzy · « **Reply #44 on:** December 06, 2015, 11:44:00 AM »

I just sold my cousin a pair of ball python skinned limbs that I wanted for a long, long time. Once I got them I felt like I liked wood a little bit better. I do remember that bow though, Ken.

Izzy,I have one Tip recurve with Charcoal riser and Charcol dye quilted maple limbs,they match so well together along with sheep horn overlays.

Well Felix, I'm working (kind of) instead of hunting so I would love to see a pic of that bow as well as anyone elses pics. Now all I have to do is hunt down some gnarly quilted maple lams. Think I found some but will run the by Dave before I buy. I am enjoying this thread and appreciate your responses. Can never see too many silvertip pics.

Izzy my Charcoal bow is on their site, but if you 'll send me your mail I can send you some more.

I used figured Sapele

veneers in this one.

Robertfishes · « **Reply #49 on:** December 06, 2015, 04:24:00 PM »

I really like to use Santos Rosewood veneers, I have used it in risers too.

That santos rosewood is awesome. I have a Griffin with a santos riser.

figured bubinga.

I have a few bows with Waterfall Bubinga. Looks great.

Izzy · « **Reply #53 on:** December 06, 2015, 08:38:00 PM »

I had a sweet Zipper extreme with waterfall bubbling limbs that I sold off. My cousin has recently reunited the limbs with the riser and is making me want that bow back. Great looking stuff with a lot of characteristics of quilted maple.

Im having a fit trying to find strung pics of 3 piece Silver Tip long bows. Anyone?

Nook · « **Reply #55 on:** December 09, 2015, 01:28:00 PM »

Izzy I've got a few for you:

Man o man are they some sexy weapons! You sure know how to smile in a pic and I don't blame you with that buck or the does for that matter.

Post the pics when you get it!

Izzy- I went with the Rosewood dymond wood , with Camphor Burl veneers.
Then I see Kirks post , about them being unstable, and stinky -- Oh Well- they're over top double carbon lams so... If Dave or Beth have a problem , I'm sure they'll call or E-mail. In the meantime -- I just Pray. Hopefully it'll be here soon after the first of Jan/ 16....
