    Make some nice limb lams.

    It's Tiger Stripe Maple.

    They will look good as they are on the belly but maybe with some dye to darken them for the back of the limbs and to make the stripe really stand out;)

    Not all I got has the tiger stripe the other has some nice dark grain patterns.

    A colonial walnut stain always darkens and highlights tigerstripe maple nicely. That stuff belongs on a flintlock or a violin, not a bow. Who ever heard of putting curly maple on a bow? ... Oh yeah that crazyass Will E.
