    Not sure you could go wrong with any of them! What woods do you have in the riser?

      Those are all great! Pick whichever one trips your trigger and go with it!

        It's a Bob Lee Heavyweight. It's probably 95%+ Black Micarta. It has a Bubinga Overlay in Bubinga lines in the Riser. Not so much that I can't get away with Limb Veneer "X" and still make it all flow. Hold on ill find a pic off the internet.

        The second from top is Nutmeg Burl. I "rike" it.

            Check out onestringer.com for her vinyl limb overlays, too. Mindy is a nice woman, a stay at home Mom who lives archery and started her business.

              If that dark one is your riser, I don't think I like any of those above. I would go foe something that more closely matched the brown in the riser.

                Love that dark riser
                I don't think you could go wrong with any of them but that second one would be my choice

                  Check out Tamo Ash - it came out real nice on my Bob Lee Heavyweight

                      This is the only Tamo they have right now.

                        Nah I want it to contrast like my last custom long bow did. It looks better than it sounds. It had a light curly maple in the riser and Bocote limb veneers.

                          Once you get it picked out, we need a picture of it completed. Of the 4 choices listed, I would say second from the bottom.

                            So will it come out a little darker than that picture? I was watching a video recently where the color that they showed for the veneer wood was lighter before they built up the limb and darker due to either stain or whatever (it wasn't clear to me.)

                            I like the pattern on the 2nd one... just not the shade.

                              A tad.
