Anyone know where I might find some Camphor Burl veneers ? Need 31" in length. Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED
THANK YOU ,
Mike
I traded a Dye for a Schafer about a year ago and the Schafer was decked out with the camphor burl veneers which are very stunning. That's the only bow I can remember with that. Try calling them and they might help you out.
Lon,
Pm sent. I talked to Beth today and if it were a take down I'd be good to go. But Dave's building me another one piece.
yep that is some great stuff, made a knife with them kinda scales on it. Looked great.<><
Frank I AGREE :thumbsup:

Mike, Fedora sells huge amounts of riser and limb woods of all types. Give Mike or Jason a call.

Contact West Penn Hardwoods (http://www.westpennhardwoods.com) , if they don't have it, they can get it. Great customer service, they'll pick out what you want and send you pics of pieces for you to choose from.
Bjorn,
I called and spoke to Mike's wife. Need to call back and talk to Jason. THANKS!!
Java Man, Will check it out THANKS!!
JC,
I called West Penn, they told me they do not carry veneers THANK YOU !!
Sorry, didn't think about that...I usually buy whole pieces from them and cut what I want.
JC,
Question, Can a bowyer cut their own veneers ?
THANKS
Mike
Yep, some have that equipment...but after looking at the prices on the veneer supplies website Gregg posted I'm not sure it would be worth the trouble. Pretty awesome website
I've never done veneers cause i don't build bows, but I have sourced 3-4 pieces of wood for risers on bows I had built and some other scrap pieces for knife scales etc. from West Penn.
JC THANK YOU KINDLY :campfire:
This is one of Mike's risers with some kind of burl...not sure of wood type...but it's sure sweet looking wood what ever it is.You would have to contact Fedora for that info...bowdoc (http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii175/bowdocsarchery/mf001.jpg)

Doc,
Nice riser. Fedora's don't have any Camphor :help:
Prudy risers bowdoc!
That veneer website is awesome. Some beautiful woods listed on it.
Good Luck with your search MJB.
Chris,
THANKS !!!
I have made several bows with it in the limbs as veneers with great success...Camphor is my personal favorite wood!
I have some veneers but they arn't 31 inches in length...I also have some Camphor spliced with Curly Maple that I could make into veneers, agian, not long enough. I could splice some camphor with camphor with a small pin stripe to make your length though!

What width do you need? I have a block that I cut veneers out of that is Camphor spliced with Quilted Sapele with a pinstripe of hickory/cedar/hickory that is 1 1/2" x 35 7/8" and I could grind down to .020"
