Ian:

Here is a pic of a Chek-Mate Firebird that I used to own.

The Limbs are Red Elm and the Riser is Chechen. I think red elm makes a very attractive limb wood.

These limbs are flat grain stained red elm. Unstained is a blond color about like Ash.

Darkly stained red elm limbs are one of my favorites. The next bow I purchase will have definitely have them.
