Bocate is about as good as it gets IMHO.

Bocote's a great "natural camo" limb veneer.  I think my new Horne longbow goncalo alves limbs are pretty "woods natural camo", too ...

I think those will make awesome looking limbs. What beautiful grain. It'll look great when finished. Be sure to show us some pictures when you are finished. Mike

Might those lams have been from an air-dried board?  AD walnut can be full of surprising colors -- reds, purples, even hints of green.  The kiln drying process strips a LOT of color out of walnut.

Nice looking wood there Kenny.  Nick suggested we try to make it down to MO sometime around the end of March early April.  We'll have to stop in to see the new lam grinder and shoot some BS and a few arrows.
