I used macassar veneers in this bow. (http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt46/Robertfishes/bow10done1.jpg)

if you like dark wood with really tight grain there is no way you are ever going to do better than macassar ebony...only drawback in my mind is the weight...i have a jon gharing takedown with macassar ebony riser with a padauk curved stripe...i have posted pics in the past if you can figure out where they are....my pics posting days on tradgang are over...uses up too much valuable practice time
-
Oh Felix....
I know you have some pics you could share.
By the way, you cost me 150 bucks in wood last time I was at Dave's
-
Except mine will be Masassar in the middle and B&W ebony on the flares :D

One thing to keep in mind; macassar ebony varies greatly regarding it's looks. Some pieces are very dark with little grain. Others have all kinds of figure and grain.
I would have Jim inform you of the pieces he has.

That Lewis Hollow one-piece is beautiful!
What are the limb veneers?

Joe Vt. DANG!! you have some nice bows. All these are nice though,and I thank you all again. Joe I will ask Big Jim to inform me of what he has on hand. Good call. They do vary a bit don't they. I really am liking the looks of this variety of wood fellas'. rat'

It does vary GREATLY. I had one made years ago and didn't care for it because it was just about solid black. NO grain. BILL
-
Hopewell Tom; the veneers are Bosse Pommele.
Thank you for the compliments.

This is my Brackenbury NonTypical. Not a great picture as it is absolutely stunning in person.
