My 2nd bow that's on order will be either (the bowyer is making a couple for me to try) are Osage, Purpleheart, Wenge accent and Bamboo back or Purpleheart Belly with a Purpleheart core another of Afromosia and a Bamboo back. I can choose whichever one I want.
You have found a bowyer who will let you try before you buy?
