Thinking about ordering a new bow and actually like black glass limbs for many reasons. Just would like pics of your wood risers with black limbs for a little inspiration. Thanks!!!

Sorry, double pic. This is my Black River 3-piece hybrid. Riser is cocobolo dymondwood with bocote accent. Black glass back and belly.
Very nice, thanks!
Specifically looking for black and white ebony, bocote, cocobolo, or curly maple. Thanks!

Not the best pics..
Bocote and black glass is one the sharpest looking combos IMHO.

That is one beautiful Whip!
Yes it is.....The one that got away, if ya get my meaning.

X2 that is a looker for sure.
IMO, here are some things that makes black glass look awesome. Correct overlays for the lip tips and the riser. Example the Whip above. Then comes the riser wood(s). Nothing with too much contrast; you don't want it taking away from the simple beauty of the black glass and overlays.
You want to see a wonderful example of a black riser with black glass and wonderful overlays? Go to TimberGhost archery website and look at the model Smoke Hybrid....stunning.
Beauty is in the mind of the beholder.
Black glass and black walnut.

Had a two whippenstiks built identical to Zradix bow. Black glass and bocote in flat or matt finish is awesome. I also like black glass and grey or red dymond wood (tall tines)
Here is my Sarrels Blue Ridge from Sep 2016 on an elk hunt.
