Curly hard maple veneers crafted at the Bending Branch wood shop. Each 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. Adjust thickness if needed. If no thickness is indicated, you will receive 0.030″.
Renowned for its dramatic visual movement and “fiddleback” figure, Curly Hard Maple is a prized variation of the classic Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum). This natural phenomenon creates a horizontal “tiger stripe” pattern that appears to shift and glow under light, a characteristic known as chatoyance. When sliced into fine veneers, this wood offers the perfect marriage of mard maple’s structural integrity and an elite aesthetic that has been a staple of master bowyers for centuries.
Specifications:
- Thickness: 0.030″ (up to 0.050″ upon request)
- Width: 1.5″, 1.75″ or 2.0″
- Length:Â 36″
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 are not receiving the veneers in the product image. Wood changes color over time, especially as it is exposed to light, the sun or extreme temperatures. 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.
