Any of those woods would look great with it, but since Todd's a midwesterner I'd give him the osage with it--if it's a bow for him. Maybe you should throw some carbon in as well; he loves that hi-tech modern crap! ;-)

I have a very dense pc. of Rosewood that looks like that. Reddish with black grain. You can sand it smooth and buff it to a high polish with no finish.>>>>-----. Ken

2 Bears, I know what you're talking about with those really dark rosewood pieces. It's like they're already saturated with some kind of oil, and much softer than the surrounding wood as well. I've encountered patches of them before while refinishing bows.

Iowa Stick's are a real deal. Like said above. WHATEVER Jeff does, it will look fantastic and shoot just as good. I'm not sure when the last time was I took something other than my Freeman for a woods walk??
Jeff if all this rain keeps on I may actually get to put a damper on the local hog population around here. They can't swim forever and the high ground is getting high density. :D

Be sure to let us know how the new riser change feels when you shoot the bow compared to your old riser. It will be hard to beat the bows you been building : )

If it is Korean, Frisky will want several.. That would go well with his rat trap and Super Slow models.

Obviously Skookum influence, as he's the guy who built the broken limb FASCOs out of Korean Crapwood and admitted it here.
