I started a riser today for a 35# recurve.. I picked this piece of wood out of my wood stash. I bought it back in 2009 or 2010 and the masking tape label I put on it is missing. Its a fairly light weight wood.  I think this is "Black Limba" anybody else think so too?

That would be my guess.

I just glued up a one piece black glass recurve with the mystery wood riser..when I applied the smooth on the wood grain came to life! very pretty..

That is going to look very sharp.

I have black limba in one of my personal bows and I have some in my wood pile none look like that but the wood in the wood stock and the wood in my bow look different too . Black limba is nice wood and can have nice figure lots of black streaks .

I made one with black limba veneers, but it looked nothing like that piece you have. Looks a lot more like zebra or marblewood. Zebra being physically lighter than marblewood.
