I will use this wood (local wood here, don't know the name) and brazilian rosewood to build a recurve. Think it will looks great!

I agree that is very interesting grain. Keep the PICs coming as you build it.

It looks like Narra, ut that is from the Phillipins(I think). Looks good though.

Looks like lacewood to me. Nice chunk of wood, whatever it is!

Here it is called "Cow's Meat". I don't know any other name nor the cientific name unfortunatelly.

What do you guys think about this two woods together? Pinus sylvestris (looks like zebrawood but it's not) and Cow's meat

WOW - Some great figured woods

Very nice grain in both pieces. I'm curious as to why they are both round. Have they been turned on a lathe? Or just de-barked?

stickbowhntr thanks

bretto
they have been turned a long time ago when I didn't even shoot bows. just found them in my stuff and the idea of building a bow sparkled in my mind.
