Title: Tiger Myrtle Veneers??
Post by: Longbow917 on April 20, 2013, 09:54:00 PM
Hey guys, I am getting a whip made and Dan doesn't have any tiger myrtle and his supplier won't be getting any soon.  I have also tried Idaho Curt and while he has some pretty sweet Myrtle burl, still no Tiger Myrtle.  I kinda have my heart set on some Tiger Myrtle to go with some sweet dark mexican cocobolo Dan has for my riser..... any ideas where I can score some of this elusive wood?  I appreciate any help anyone can give me.  Thanks, Don.

Troy D. Breeding sells veneers on the classifieds,but I don't know about tiger myrtle. Maybe you could try to get a hold of him.

Rosewood archery is a good place to look. I have bought some really nice tiger myrtle there.

Do not know where to find but they sure are good looking.

Bowmarks, I would like to see those pics if you can figure it out, or have someone do it for you. I'm in the same boat as you, or I'd offer.
I don't know what they have in stock, but Rare Earth Hardwoods usually has an exceptional selection of woods. Check out their website, and see what they have to offer.

Don, The Rosewood Shop supplies Black Widow with their tiger myrtle. Here are a couple of pics.  (http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s296/GregD_photos/002-9_zps0fd54d51.jpg) (http://s155.photobucket.com/user/GregD_photos/media/002-9_zps0fd54d51.jpg.html)   (http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s296/GregD_photos/001-8_zps5354b908.jpg) (http://s155.photobucket.com/user/GregD_photos/media/001-8_zps5354b908.jpg.html)

Yep- will have to give them a shout.  Troy doesnt have anything either.
