I traded a Dye for a Schafer about a year ago and the Schafer was decked out with the camphor burl veneers which are very stunning. That's the only bow I can remember with that. Try calling them and they might help you out.

Lon,
Pm sent. I talked to Beth today and if it were a take down I'd be good to go. But Dave's building me another one piece.

Mike, Fedora sells huge amounts of riser and limb woods of all types. Give Mike or Jason a call.

Contact West Penn Hardwoods , if they don't have it, they can get it. Great customer service, they'll pick out what you want and send you pics of pieces for you to choose from.

Bjorn,
I called and spoke to Mike's wife. Need to call back and talk to Jason. THANKS!!

Java Man, Will check it out THANKS!!

JC,
I called West Penn, they told me they do not carry veneers THANK YOU !!

Sorry, didn't think about that...I usually buy whole pieces from them and cut what I want.

MJB · « **Reply #13 on:** July 10, 2008, 09:47:00 AM »

JC,
Question, Can a bowyer cut their own veneers ?
THANKS
Mike

Yep, some have that equipment...but after looking at the prices on the veneer supplies website Gregg posted I'm not sure it would be worth the trouble. Pretty awesome website

I've never done veneers cause i don't build bows, but I have sourced 3-4 pieces of wood for risers on bows I had built and some other scrap pieces for knife scales etc. from West Penn.
