Any Curly Maple Widows
« on: July 29, 2012, 02:35:00 PM »
Lately I am really liking dark stained Curly Maple bows. Mostly because of some of the pics of some of the Baba Bows made with Curly Maple. Anyway has anyone had a BW made using Curly Maple? Not sure how a BW riser would look, but the limbs should look really nice.

I had two made with curly maple limbs. One stained and one unstained. I was looking to sell the stained limbs as I wanted something shorter, but no bites. I'm guessing it isn't a really popular wood with the widow crowd. I'll get some pics for you in a bit...Mike

Unstained curly maple, Pau Ferro riser

 
 
Stained curly maple, zircote riser

I'll have to get another pic of the stained limbs like the other.  Just because I have pics of all my Widows like that...Mike

Here is two more pics of the stained maple limbs.  I asked BW to give them a light stain so they would have some contrast to the Zircote, but still be a bit darker than the unstained...Mike
