The four laminations in the middle are gonna be used on one set of limbs for my Blacktail Elite VL this coming spring. The same piece of wood that the laminations came from is gonna be used in the riser also.

It oughta be a "looker"

Right now........I'm kinda torn between cocobolo and gaboon ebony with the second set of limbs being footed with zircote, if I choose the gaboon ebony. If I choose the cocobolo, they will be footed with cocobolo.

Decisions..........Decisions.........  :dunno:

I am also torn about whether to use the tiger myrtle as the footing in the riser, or to use it in the main body.   :banghead:

Just keep in mind that myrtle isn't as heavy as cocobola. I was going to use it as the main riser wood also. But I have choosen against it because I don't want to give up the weight. The color in the veneers would go great with cocobola and ebony...for what it's worth.
When I talk with Norm Sat. at the annual trad banquet here I'll tell him you want to switch limb veneers with mine!    :biglaugh:

I just sent the deposit to Norm for a extra set of limbs for my Blacktail Elite.  It was built in 1999 and it is Bolivian Rosewood.  I picked myrtle for the veneers, I hope they look as good as the ones above.  I had to get lighter limbs. I hate to admit it, but I just can't pull the original ones anymore.

A tough call either way Don I guess with zircote limb footing I'd foot the riser with ebony leaving the awesome tiger myrtle for the main wood. The riser footing section in a Blacktail is fairly substancial and with an ebony footing I think that you would still maintain good riser weight.

Thomas,

How is the weight in the riser compared to heavier mass woods ??? When I spoke with Norm he said that myrtle is a pretty lightweight wood and I like the stability of some heavier wood in my risers.

DANG..........that thing sure is purdy !!!
