I am looking to order a PSAX Widow with coco riser and yew limbs but I am stumped as to what type of coco looks best with yew. Coco comes in so many shades and colors that I am looking for ideas. So feel free to post pics of what you have. Thanks in advance.

You might like this one. Not mine- just a pic.
Cocobola & Osage.
Some people choose Yew because it won't darken like osage.

I am just not crazy about osage, seems like it clashes but I know a lot of people like the combo.

I like coco that's got a lot of red to it. Someone on here, Andy Man maybe, has a Black Widow PTF with cocobolo and it looks fantastic.

I know that cocobolo darkens over time. When it does, does it maintain the color or does it all turn plum black? I also like the orangey red coco, but I am concerned that it will alldarken over time. Any thoughts?

From looking at a bunch of them up close I wouldn't pay a premium for Cocobolo from BW b/c they are thinly laminated enough that they don't show off how good looking the wood is. Overall color will be right but continuous grain is interrupted. If I wanted red I'd go bubinga or osage for orange if cocobolo is more money
