I love Bocote! I just received an astonishing set of Bocote limbs from Ken from Whippenstick.  No pics yet...
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that string! [/i]                            :rolleyes:

Not as spectacular as some of these combos, but I still get a bit of a thrill every time I pick up my RER LXR. Waterfall ash and cocobolo. Static tip recurve and longbow limbs are perfectly matched veneers from the same board.

I just got some more maple veneer.  Some quilted and some burl.  Stain makes this stuff look amazing.

I just picked up a HUGE amount of veneer for a woodworking project, I'm gonna have to piece together some of my leftovers into stuff for you guys.  Knew there was a reason I got that 1'x8'+ curly walnut veneer sheet...

You guys have given me lots of ideas.  Thank you!

Here are a few that I've made which might fall into this category.
myrtle burl
 
myrtle burl
 
Some spliced pieces
 
bubinga sap and heartwood
 
walnut burl
 
Some of these I've run out of but fun to look at every once in awhile.

Why do you cut down the center of the knot on those veneers? Makes it look like you have half to best part on each limb. Center the knot w/ the center of the veneer's width!

Overbo,
When you're cutting a log you often can't tell what's going on inside.

Not quite veneers yet, but will be in a few days. Walnut burl and Osage on the top billet, Walnut Burl and Curly Maple on the bottom. Still have a couple more billets to build, then it back to cutting and grinding.

These are kind of unique; This is one of the bows that Mike did not post. I finally found a pic of the veneers. Black myrtle. This looks like its on fire. Pic does not do it justice.
 
Double koa limbs, one fiddleback and one just crazy. Possibly the best veneers I have ever had.

fiddleback myrtle inlaid with cocabola firebird  

God bless, Steve
