I love Bocote! I just received an astonishing set of Bocote limbs from Ken from Whippenstick.  No pics yet...

great thread, what else is out there?

Not as spectacular as some of these combos, but I still get a bit of a thrill every time I pick up my RER LXR. Waterfall ash and cocobolo. Static tip recurve and longbow limbs are perfectly matched veneers from the same board.

 

 

 

 

I just got some more maple veneer.  Some quilted and some burl.  Stain makes this stuff look amazing.

I just picked up a HUGE amount of veneer for a woodworking project, I'm gonna have to piece together some of my leftovers into stuff for you guys.  Knew there was a reason I got that 1'x8'+ curly walnut veneer sheet...

You guys have given me lots of ideas.  Thank you!

Here are a few that I've made which might fall into this category.
myrtle burl

Some spliced pieces

bubinga sap and heartwood

walnut burl

Some of these I've run out of but fun to look at every once in awhile.

WOW      All of those are awesome veneers and beautiful bows!!!

Spalted myrtle

 

Mango

 

Mango/Myrtle combo

Why do you cut down the center of the knot on those veneers? Makes it look like you have half to best part on each limb. Center the knot w/ the center of the veneer's width!

Hey Curt - got any more of that spalted mango ?

Overbo,
When you're cutting a log you often can't tell what's going on inside.

Nice Abe! Curt too!

Just amazing.

That mango is sweet!!!*

Not quite veneers yet, but will be in a few days. Walnut burl and Osage on the top billet, Walnut Burl and Curly Maple on the bottom. Still have a couple more billets to build, then it back to cutting and grinding.

All beautifull, but I was really knocked down by Idaho Curt's mango veneers, absolutely knockdown gorgeous !

Mango's look awesome!!!

These are kind of unique; This is one of the bows that Mike did not post. I finally found a pic of the veneers. Black myrtle. This looks like its on fire. Pic does not do it justice.

Double koa limbs, one fiddleback and one just crazy. Possibly the best veneers I have ever had.

God bless, Steve

Steve, as always beautiful work  

Wow Steve, those koa veneers were OUTSTANDING!!
