I really like cocobolo, and I loved the cocobolo mixed with bocote and rosewood. Also partial to shedua when it has good figure. I'm in the process of getting some super dense and very figured Claro walnut--bet I will really like it too!

A heavy wood does make a noticeable difference to me, even in a longbow riser. Not a whole lot, but noticeable. On a recurve, especially a take-down, it makes a lot of difference in the way it feels (weight).
