looking for something different - who's got something they think no one else has?

Mike

no pics but I know where there is some birdseye walnut lumber.  I've been thinking of buying a couple of boards and sending it to Black Widow for a set of limbs for my PSA V

Here is some cocobolo I cut and how it turned out.

here is the runner ups who have not yet made it into a bow

Here are two different veneers I've used lately.

Dark Birdseye maple and Flaming Ambrosia Maple.

As you can see I like maple of all styles.

Troy, I think of using ambrosia maple soo often. Its amazing that the excrement of bugs can be so desirable. How did you fill the bug holes in the veneers?

i really like that lighter cocobola!!  All the Habu's i have had are really dark - kind of wrote that one off too early.....

Some pretty decent bocote....





Some Zebra I put in my son's bow...

 

Do a search for Redwood burl from Big Jim or Steve O's talltine- very nice

Some more good bocote...



YEW isn't usually unusual...but I got these lams for my Silvertip....

Is there a place to buy nice veneers?  I would like to keep an eye out for some and buy it.  That way when I have my next bow built I can just send the veneers to the bowyer.  I love buetiful wood.  After all if you can't shoot good you can at least look good.

I used a redwood burl for the lam's in my widow.  Limbs look like they are on fire!  That is exactly what i am looking for - they were a great find.

Wow, I love hearing the good comments about redwood burl.  I just ordered a new longbow and had the bowyer use that veneer after seeing it in his shop.  Good choice I guess...

Your freaking me out all I see is clear gloss over them to show the wood grains the most and more bow builds.

Beautiful keep them coming.

pamike-  I think you need to post some pix of your bows- you have a lot of wood bases covered with that collection.

IdahoCurt here on Tradgang is a good source for them.....

Here is the redwood burl on my Widow. Sorry just figured out how to do this!!!!

Here is my maple Tip which is on its way back to Dave for a longer bow.

My myrtle Tall Tines

My 64" tip. More maple
