Very pretty!    
I like the lines of the bow as well thus far & hope you continue to share its progress!

Beautiful!

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.  The riser is Walnut.  I'll post some pictures of the finished bow when its all done.

Thanks again!

I had a great piece of fiddle back walnut that my father bought as a gunstock blank...I have an r/d longbow made from some of it...I was thinking how nice it would look with that myrtle so great choice for a riser...just shows what nice bows can be made with more local woods

Thanks Dave.  

I'll try and post some finished pictures sometime today.

I like it, here are a couple pics of my myrtle burl Shrew.

Tenbrook, those are some real pretty veneers.


IMO; I bet they would look supper sweet too if you hit them with a very light stain to darken them up.


I have some Mytle veneers on my RER. The only thing I wish was different was that they were darker in color.

Cool stuff!

I have a 3-piece recurve bow with a Zircote riser and Tiger Myrtle limbs, and have been thinking about getting a heavier set of limbs for it in Myrtle Burl...  You are not helping me save any money!  

Beautiful!

Beautiful. A friend of mine just got a burl myrtle/cocobolo Crow Creek longbow. Turned out really well.

Sweet!

Thanks again guys.  My cameras broken but I'll get some finished photos up soon.

That's some really beautiful wood!
