Looking Good
This one is walnut riser with ebony stripe, myrtle veneers on the limbs. That white vein in the veneers was a small crack that I thought would disappear when I glued it up. I guess the pressure actually made the crack worse. The epoxy filled it but I don't shoot this bow much. Mike

Thanks guys,what a bunch of beautiful bows and wood-you've helped me make up my mind!
I like a dark bow, but some of that "dirty" Myrtle is outstanding. And "dark" enough. It goes well with a lot of other woods.

That is a seriously beautiful bow. I see pics of a hundred bows a day, and that one really stands out. Awesome.
Not a real good picture but the riser is Cocobolo and the belly lams are Myrtle Burl from Idaho Curt, of course looks better in person.

Not a loser in the bunch-Iam inspired!
I love myrtle or any of the other burls. Claro walnut and koa are a couple of others that look great. I like to window shop at sixby's eaglewing, caribow, blacktail, and Dan Toelké sites. They have some great myrtle bows- Someday, I hope to get one. If I was to get a bow from one of the Oregon bowyers- it would have to have myrtle in it. We will need pix of that WW when you receive it.
Here's another one with a G-10 riser

Here's a picture of my Sasquatch hanging in the tree in 2012.
Notice the little Bear compass. Kirk wasn't too keen on putting it in the bow but he is a top-notch customer pleaser. I had one put in a Silvertip as well. I have one more....it may go in a 1-piece this spring?
What is that bow MSbowhunter? It is a one-piece but I can't tell the bowyer/model-- They burl ash one.

Wow! Absolutely stunning, beautiful bows!
But I must say I'm really hating this thread. That's because last year at this time I ordered a new Blacktail recurve with myrtle limbs and a rosewood riser. I still have several more months wait time before I receive my bow. Until I saw this thread that bow has out of sight, out of mind. But now thanks to all this eye candy you guys have been posting here, I am definitely getting real excited about receiving my new bow - and all that anticipation is going to drive me to distraction!
This is a Robertson, it is book matched on all four sides.

Myrtle is probably my favorite veneer right now. Lots of character and lots of variations. These risers are zebra and bocote but myrtle also looks great with a dark riser wood like macassar or one of the other ebonys. Idaho Curt's got some awesome lams. Bet he's put his mark on on a lot of great looking bows.

I just used a set of Curts myrtlewood veneers to build a bow that is by far the neatest bow I have ever built. The wood he gets is the best. When you can actually buy it. Everytime I check he is sold out.
God bless, Steve
