Anybody ever use quarter sawn sycamore in a limb? Thinking about using them for veneers over a core.... Any thoughts?

Should make a pretty one. Sycamore looks great when quarter sawn. Makes a great turkey call to.
are you going to stain it or leave it natural?

Ive used it a couple of times, makes a good bow. Sycamore is a cousin to maple and works the same imo. Looks good dyed also. Mark
