RH,
I posted a picture of my labs retrieving arrows about a week ago, in it I was shooting my 58" Hunter II, Maple/Bubinga with Elm limbs. Here it is...
   

Here's another photo...

Very nice,wish I could get my german shepard to do that.Good lookin bow.

Robert, I also have a Hunter I which is Shedua/Bubinga with Black Locust limbs
that is really good looking. I like that combo  better than the Maple/Bubinga, to tell the truth...

Here's a bit better picture of the Hunter II...

Here's a 56" Hunter in shedua, bubinga and black walnut limbs.

If it was me and I was not sure what kind of wood I wanted, I would call the bowyer and tell him to make it like it was for him (what he would like for wood). Then sit back and wait for the surprise.

To me all the woods that are used in bows are beautiful. Alan

Here's the red elm limbs I covered with bullsnake. Almost a shame really:



Here's my bow shedua/bubinga bow with the black locust limbs on it:



Here's a bubinga/shedua with walnut limbs I was looking at before I bought mine. (can't remember who's this is but it is a tradgangers   :thumbsup:



Here's my old Crusader which was Shedua riser with Yew limbs.  I really like Yew.



Here's the handle of my CM Raven which is All shedua riser with black locust limbs:

Twoarrows, what's the wood on the first two bows?I like the looks of them.

Coachy

Hey Chad , how about putting those pics on your site so all can see    ;)

Robert- it's coco, not highly figured and not the greatest photo but up close it was a real nice shooting and looking bow.

If you look on Chad's site.  My bow is the cocobolo riser and black walnut limb examples.  It is a great shooting/ great looking combination.

LBR

Hey Coachy--we are working on it.  One problem is I am obviously not any good at photography.  Another is my webmaster is a friend who gives me a great deal, but doesn't have a lot of time to devote to the site.  Sorry about that--we'll get more on there as soon as we can though.
