Title: Grey stained veneers...pics??
Post by: A.S. on September 10, 2015, 06:33:00 AM
I have always liked the Greybark Widows. The grey just seems simple and elegant.

I have a new bow project in the works and I'm thinking about having grey stained veneers. Just looking for pics to help with my choice.

Anybody??

How many strings did you have to make to buy a new widow? If you have 50% profit in them I figure around 110.

Thanks ks guys, those look great!

TJ, I'm not getting a Black Widow, but I like your thinking!

Here's one from Two Tracks that's in the classifieds now. I always thought this one looked nice.

I've got some pics on my St Jude bow thread.    Grey stained maple riser and a custom reddish brown tamp ash veneers.

Here's a Shrew I've had for several years.  Still love it.

Allen look at Schafers web site they have grey stained limbs.  I have grey stained set of curly maple but pics escape me.

Here's a link that has a few grey veneers in it.

That Shrew is one of my all time favorites...
