I love Curley Maple, in all shades of stain. Here's a few I own, or have owned.

Thanks Gen273. That top one is a Timber Hawk I wish I still had. The very dark one is a 2pc Bama LB. The pics don't really show how beautiful the Curley Maple came out with the dark stain. 2 Barrels, there was a thread within the last week or two of a new bow with Quilted Maple limbs that was just drop-dead goregeous. What I like about these Maples, Curley-Quilted-Tiger, is the 3D look to it. That Tiger Maple Pronghorn gives an incredible illusion of depth when you move the bow around in the light. I'm a "Grain Freak" and these types of Maple are up there on my list of favorites. Spalted Maple is another awesome looking wood.
Here's my new Endeavor that I posted earlier last week with quilted maple limbs. I'm partial to this kind of maple because of the irridescent/3-D effect it has when stained under glass.

NBK, yours is the bow I mentioned in my post, I hoped you'd be along. That is just about the prettiest Quilted Maple I've seen. Just awesome!
beautiful! I just posted mine w/ a deer I just shot. Once I saw with curly maple, I HAD to own one! I love that wood.
Thanks guy's thats exactly what i'm lookin for.The new bow bugs got me right now.I'm up in the air between another widow or the timber hawk.I've shot several of the timber hawk's at shoots and really like them.And the price aint bad either.Thanks,Jim
