Title: Riser wood ideas with Spalted maple veneers
Post by: T Folts on February 28, 2018, 06:36:00 PM

I am making a bow for a buddy using some spalted maple he gave me for limb veneers. So far he wants bolivian rose wood (Pau Ferro).
He wants a 2 wood footed riser but not sure of the second wood. Any ideas or pics to go with the spalted veneers and Pau Ferro.
Pics would be helpful.

Thanks Terry

I bet phenolic would be excellent.

He decided to go with Pau Ferro and Marble wood.
I think it will look good.
