Would love to see some pics of your bows that incorporate maple in them :)
I can't figure out this photo posting thing but if you send me your e-mail. I'll send some pics of a maple recurve I just received.

I used to own a Northern Mist Baraga w/ birdseye maple riser and veneers. It is beautiful. I sold it. I will own another NM in the future. I will allow Steve to have artists preference in wood choices throughout but I hope that a birdseye or quilted maple or juniper are in his mind at the time.

maple and black walnut
Great looking bows..... Thanks ;)
Does it count if I incorporated maple into my broadhead (or the other way around)?

I do like the exotic woods but I also really like domestic woods like maple. Here are a couple of my recent bows. A dyed quilted maple limbed for me and one for my wife with a birdseye maple riser.
