Thanks Guys and sorry Jamie... but it's osage.  I dyed it with black Rit dye.  I was trying for a dark grey or even black, but got a sorta walnut brown instead ???  
  The handle wrap ain't very primitive either, it's just black nylon twine from wal-mart. It has a nice feel to it and is super easy to apply though.

Shannon, That is a beauty!, and it looks like a nice piece of Ipe ;D But the Ipe trees we have here in town don't have that "snake" either.. I think its one of the coolest looking bows I have seen..

The handle wrap compliments it well..

Good job on everything, Shannon.  I especially like the grip, shelf and recurved tips.  Sweet profile.  Looks slender and lethal.

That is a perfect way to show off the tiller...and it is right on!   The back lighting really shows off the shape(tillered beauty) without showing the cosmetic beauty of the bow.     Pat
