Guess you can say I'm always looking for something different and unusual.

Thought I'd try a new type splicing. These are Brown Birdseye Maple and Walnut:

 

Here is a close up of the splice:

 

For the unusual, I ran a cross a piece of Quilted Poplar about a week ago and thought "what the heck, folks are always wanting something different".

 

I took a scrap piece of the Quilted Poplar and dyed it with a couple different colors.

Gray dye:

 

Golden Brown dye:

 

I'll have both of these up on my site in a little while.

The gray looks good to me.

beeeeoootiful work Troy- really a work of art!!

Awesome work Troy! That is a beautiful splice.

Very nice splice and color combo. Bue--.

Wow! Troy you do amazing work!

Wow those are awesome Troy!!

Thanks fellows. I'm always looking for something different. May try doing something like this with a little Myrtle if I can find the right material for the contrasting colors.

I guess they are ok..  

hehehehe!!! Minus "T" your a hoot!!

Awesome troy! How long are they from the walnut end to the start of the arrowhead? I'd hate to cover those with overlays!

Mike,

It's a tad over 8". I took that into consideration when making them. If used in a one piece the overlay would have to be under 16" to prevent covering any of the spliced arrowhead. If they were going to be used in a takedown the spliced arrowhead could either be around mid limb or by trimming a little off both ends the arrowhead could be just above the take down bolts

Glad to say the full set of veneers will be heading out to their new owner Monday.

Looks like I need to start up another set. Now the question is what material to use.

Why not use real wood, like Osage and Black Walnut?    LOL

That could be done, but why not use something with a little color and character in it?  

Your from Ohio huh?
That explains everything. LMFAO

Not really, just stuck here because of work.

Bama born and raised.
