EH,

The riser woods are Cocobolo Dymondwood and Bocote and the limbs are Bamboo stained a reddish color. I say Cocobolo Dymondwood because I've had big risered bows with Cocobolo/Bocote and they are not as heavy as this one. The only material I've had in a bow that gets this kind of weight is Dymondwood.

Chad,

I like the heavy riser as it makes for a very stable shooting bow. Comparing Elmer's work to Royal Hall's is quite a compliment for Elmer, or for Roy depending upon ones perspective.
