Wenge would be my choice.  If you want some color Osage,wenge, and bloodwood.  PM me with your email I'll send you a pic that will blow you away!

I like cocobola and zebrawood in the riser with zebrawood veneers for the limbs.

Zircote would give a nice contrast of light and dark.

i like the look of the bloodwood, paduak or even bubinga. here is a pic of the paduak that shows some good contrast.

I have an all zebrawood bow.  Wavy grain on belly and stripe on outside limbs.  Looks cool.  Can't spot it in the woods.

Is Zebrawood strong enough to be used by itself without phenolic or glass accents?
Title: Re: What wood to compliment Zebrawood in a riser?
Post by: joe vt on June 19, 2007, 10:30:00 AM
Wenge done up right is a very pretty dark wood. I think it would look awesome with Zebra.

And as some already mentioned, good ol' Cocobolo and Zebra can be real pretty. Here's my Thunderhorn with that combo.

And of course you could go with only Zebra.

I always thought zebra and wenge or zebra and bacote would look great together.
Title: Re: What wood to compliment Zebrawood in a riser?
Post by: elk ninja on June 19, 2007, 12:08:00 PM
Yes zebra is strong enough for it's own riser in a longbow-type format.  Not sure about a TD recurve though.
