burl wood source

[TexasStick81]

I'm having a Centaur built and I'm going with the dark matter riser with scales. I'm needing a piece that's 5/8 x 1.5 x 17. I love looking at images of incredible burl knife and gun handle scales but when it comes time to build a bow it's usually impossible to find pieces veneers long enough for limbs or pieces stable enough for a riser. This seems like my chance to find some incredible burl scales for the riser. Does anyone have good sources for some wild burl wood?

Zane,

I used Curt on my last Centaur for some Burl/striped lams. He carries some beautiful woods, and he was great to work with, even had him ship it out to Jim.

Another source is "Rosewood Archery" I believe if I'm correct on the name look up LeftyFred on here, Both are top notch.
