Checkout this amazing piece of Myrtle I just scored....Can't wait to get it into a bow.

I have been trying to get a piece like this for a while now. Proved to be harder then I thought!?!

Enjoy!

That is a killer piece of wood! Looks likely found a home with the perfect bow maker to make it shine.

Nice, can't wait to see it under glass.

that is sweet. I like to see what it would look like with clear on it. Look foward to seeing what beautiful creation you come up with for it.

Nice!
I envy you westerners who have access to myrtle. When I wanted to use myrtle in the last longbow I made, I couldn't find any at any wood dealers here in PA. Even Kenny didn't have any. I ended up getting IdahoCurt to send me a piece.

Probably a little of both.
