no pics but I know where there is some birdseye walnut lumber. I've been thinking of buying a couple of boards and sending it to Black Widow for a set of limbs for my PSA V

Here are two different veneers I've used lately.

Dark Birdseye maple and Flaming Ambrosia Maple.

As you can see I like maple of all styles.

Troy, I think of using ambrosia maple soo often. Its amazing that the excrement of bugs can be so desirable. How did you fill the bug holes in the veneers?

i really like that lighter cocobola!! All the Habu's i have had are really dark - kind of wrote that one off too early.....

Some Zebra I put in my son's bow...

Do a search for Redwood burl from Big Jim or Steve O's talltine- very nice

Some more good bocote...

YEW isn't usually unusual...but I got these lams for my Silvertip....

Is there a place to buy nice veneers? I would like to keep an eye out for some and buy it. That way when I have my next bow built I can just send the veneers to the bowyer. I love buetiful wood. After all if you can't shoot good you can at least look good.

I used a redwood burl for the lam's in my widow. Limbs look like they are on fire! That is exactly what i am looking for - they were a great find.

Wow, I love hearing the good comments about redwood burl. I just ordered a new longbow and had the bowyer use that veneer after seeing it in his shop. Good choice I guess...

Your freaking me out all I see is clear gloss over them to show the wood grains the most and more bow builds.

Beautiful keep them coming.

pamike- I think you need to post some pix of your bows- you have a lot of wood bases covered with that collection.

IdahoCurt here on Tradgang is a good source for them.....
