Title: Amazing Myrtle!?!
Post by: tenbrook on December 27, 2012, 09:56:00 AM
Checkout this amazing piece of Myrtle I just scored....Can't wait to get it into a bow.

I have been trying to get a piece like this for a while now.  Proved to be harder then I thought!?!

Enjoy!

That is a killer piece of wood! Looks likely found a home with the perfect bow maker to make it shine.

that is sweet.  I like to see what it would look like with clear on it.  Look foward to seeing what beautiful creation you come up with for it.

Nice!
I envy you westerners who have access to myrtle. When I wanted to use myrtle in the last longbow I made, I couldn't find any at any wood dealers here in PA.  Even Kenny didn't have any.  I ended up getting IdahoCurt to send me a piece.

Probably a little of both.
