Both are knockout bows, Sag, but I still think that riser on the snakewood bow is one of the most stunningly beautiful pieces of wood I've ever seen. Absolutely gorgeous! I love nicely figured hunks of wood.

The one thing I didn't like about my friend's bow with the leadwood riser is the leadwood had hardly any figure or interest to it. The best way I can describe it is it looked like chocolate pudding that was molded into shape. You almost had to look through a magnifying glass to see what little grain pattern there was to it. But it's another wood with a specific gravity so high that it sinks like a rock in water.
