Title: Can someone tell me what wood this is?
Post by: Swiftspeed10 on February 10, 2012, 04:22:00 PM
I searched various websites and I am trying to identify this would because it is so beautiful and would look amazing on any bow:

I'm gonna guess myrtle.  Is that a Fox bow?

I'm not sure I think I found this pic on the Kalamazoo picture thread but I can't remember!

Looks like myrtle on a Fox longbow.

Myrtle is my favorite limb veneer.  Check out Blacktail, Caribow, Robertson and Hunter Bows websites for some nice Myrtle.  I am sure there are others too.  Last week I finally received a Blacktail with light myrtle veneers-very nice and I am going to put an order in soon for another set of limbs that have more figure like your picture.  That myrtle is awesome.

I have a couple bows with Mrytle burl that looks like this; Silvertip and Widow PCH. Of course there are other Myrtle looks as well-- tiger myrtle, light and dark.  It is also one of my favorite limb veneers.

That picture looks very familiar   ;)  

That was in fact one of the bows Ron King of Fox bows had on his table at the K-Zoo expo (I think his Maverick recurve model). If I remember correctly, when I took the picture Ron told me it was myrtle burl.
