Spalted hard maple veneers crafted at the Bending Branch wood shop. This set is sequence-matched, meaning they are consecutive cuts that serve as symmetrically opposites—perfect for achieving a uniform, professional look on your bow limbs. The width and thickness of this set is not adjustable as these are already crafted. If you need a different dimension, please reach out and I can make you a custom set.
Spalted maple is a prized variation of the classic Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum). The spalting—typical in both sugar and soft maple—is wood that has begun to decay due to fungi, resulting in striking, inky black zone lines and contrasting color streaks. Because spalting is a form of natural decay, the wood loses its structural integrity and cannot be used as a primary load-bearing material. These veneers should be used with fiberglass, carbon, or other structurally supportive material.

Please note: These are natural wood products. While the images are representative of the species, expect variations in grain and color tone in every unique pair. You may not receive the exact veneers in the product image. Wood changes color over time, especially as it is exposed to light, the sun or extreme temperatures. I suggest you store thin wood veneers in a dry, dark environment under a heavy, flat material to keep them from gaining moisture and warping. If you would like to see and choose your veneers in person, please reach out and we can set up a time to get together at my shop or at a local archery event.
