Zebrawood under glass

[Cruiserpilot]

I'm starting my first project bow this week and just had a question about the finish on the zebrawood.  What do you guys think will look best....?  Should I just leave it natural or will it look better under the glass with a dye?  And if you think I should go the dye route which ones would you suggest???
Thanks ahead of time for the help.  I'm sure I will have plenty more questions in the near future!!

Leave it natural.  The glue and the glass will make the color pop out.  Looks great.  IMHO

I agree with David

No dye needed for your zebrawood- it really looks nice once it is glued up.

No dye neededd IMHO

Thanks guys.  
Those bows look great.  Being as new to this as anybody can be I was confused how everybody got the color of the wood to pop like that.  It makes sense the glue and glass will bring out the color I was looking for.

+1 on natural.  I have it in a couple bows and it looks great

Zebrawood can be a lighter color like the veneers I used in this bow. I used the lightest colored I could find because this bow was for Helen to use outdoors at FITA and other field shoots.. I would use a darker zebra for myself. I have seen some flat cut veneer that looks awesome, most is quarter sawn like mine.

Hi i have a question for anyone who uses zebrawood? has anyone ever used it for a all wood bow or doesn't it have the desired charictristic of say hickory, or osage,yew,or any other wood? thank you

That's a good quesiton tishtail, wish I could help you but I've never used it without glass.

Might want to start a different thread, I'll bet more than one of these guys has tried it.  

Wouldn't a bamboo backed Zebra bow look nice.
