Got Mango?

[tenbrook]

Checkout these AMAZING lams....I pulled these two bows out of the oven the other day and was blown away when I peeled back the tape!!!

Enjoy!

Beautiful!  I love spalted mango.  Have made a couple dulcimers with s-m for the top & back.  Have a half dozen pieces nominally 1/8" x 1-3/4" x 36" that I'm planning to use for a wood-glass composite bendy handle flatbow backed with a full length lam of swirly Kentucky Coffeetree.

I have never heard of mango in a bow. That is some pretty cool stuff.

The two bows on the left have Mango veneers, mango and cocobolo riser's, phenolic and cocobolo overlays.  Made them as donation bows but they didn't quite make it; the glass has streaks in the limbs so they are destined to be wall decorations. That said they still look really nice, and shoot even better then they look.

The photography sucks, but it gives you an idea of what mango looks like...under streaked glass

Holy wow Walt!!! I'd be more than happy to give any of those "wall hangers" a new home! How long is your waiting list?!!!

[BigJim]

Mango is very interesting stuff. I bet I have nearly a 100 lb feet of the stuff and very few pieces are the same. Lots of great figure though.

If you run out of wall space, I've got some to spare.  Streaks don't matter.  Shootability does.
