Hell thee, looking for suggestions to pair redwood limbs with. I’m set on redwood, but it tends to clash with many woods. Have pictures of a good accent wood for the riser? Thanks!

My thunderchild has spalted maple and macassar ebony in the riser with the redwood burl limbs. Looks pretty good I think.

Leadwood would look good. Just the dark lead wood not the dark and light.

KDog, unless the picture is deceiving, that riser is Macasar.

Thanks Big Jim. Wasn't sure, this was a used one I picked up. I like Macassar even better now, but, zircote and black limba for my next buffalo!

Do you need something neutral in color? Maybe a light wood like tiger maple, or a light brown wood like sapele, or gray actionwood? Bubinga might be close in color or contrast a bit depending on the specific piece. Macassar is certainly nice.
For a small riser like that on a Thunderchild, you could add a thin red and a thin black laminate between the riser wood and the limb lay-up. Pool cues frequently use black and white trim with exotic woods. They also use a bit of silver inlay but I haven't figured out how to incorporate that in a bow.
For a larger riser I can see a front half of black phenolic and the other half light or neutral wood. I always liked those flares cut down the middle of the risers like Blacktail or Timberhawk use.
There are sites that show wood wedding bands that pair a lot of different shades of wood together. This is the fun part of ordering a new bow.
