Title: Bows with myrtle
Post by: Bear Heart on January 30, 2009, 02:53:00 PM

I was looking at a veneer place online and thought the tiger srtiped myrtle looked like it could be my next limb or riser wood.  Please post a pic if you have one.

Check out the Blacktail site, Norm has some really good looking myrtle bow bow there.

The myrtle/rosewood combination looks really nice. Hope to get a Predator with that combo.

Sorry for the bow bow typo above, getting old, plus I have two dozen laquered shafts drying downstairs. I need to open a window and go outside, arrow making can be fun though.

Here is a limb with figured myrtlewood veneers. If you go to Blacktail Bows and look under the "Snakebit" option for type of bow there is some that have veneers that have blackt streaks through them.
