Here's a LH Reflex/Deflex bow I made for a guy in the Netherlands. It has Bacote laminated sides on the riser. The limbs are Osage under clear glass.

Bacote is beautiful BUT it is more susceptible to moisture/humidity than alot of woods. When used in risers, I have seen it swell and shrink pending on climate. This gives it the sharp edge feeling wherever it is laminated any many people think it is delaming or coming unglued which is not the case 99% of the time. It does bother alot of people when this happens. This seems to happen no matter how well the riser is sealed. Just not my choice for a bow that would see alot of climate changes.

Todd,
I 'think' cause its in your back yard, right????          

[mikecc]

The top bow is a t/d I made and the 1 piece is a 58# bow that Brandon Stahl helped me with and it needs a new home as he's making me a lighter one right now.

56" All Bocote Robertson Vision Falcon I. One sweet handling bow in blinds and other tight places!

D Harris,

Likely my loss but most bows online can't accomodate my 24 inch draw with a poundage around 55-60. Besides the Silvertip should be here in a couple weeks-ordered last May.

Now I'm thinkin about ordering a cocobolo/yew veneer combo. Somebody help me!!

[Gator1]

Have a bow on order, was considering Cocobolo and Part Bocote???

Now I'm not sure????

HELP

[bentpole]

Another nice Centaur longbow 357 Silver grey diamond wood riser? Bocote sure makes a pretty bow!Who's this Cosmic Ray guy??

[D Harris]

Alligatordond,

     I hate to say it but my bow was 57# @ 25". Would have been a perfect fit. I paid $1330.00 and let it go for $890.00 when only 6 months old.

Straitshot,  I believe Jason made that bow himself.  See his article, "Anatomy of a Carp Bow" in The Bowyers Journal.  I believe it was in Traditional Bowhunter as well.
