Bob, a tree is a woody stemmed plant               right?     I don't know, just call me an idiot.
 This was awsome, you should do it again some time. And keep Eddie out of it again or we'll never have any fun, LOL.

     Sean .......... a tree is a "tall" wooded plant as opposed to a shrub. But ok, I give will take youre explanation, close enuf.            Pat-you were real close I posted it on last page, Ralph guessed it and of course Eddie knew it, Darn" Polk Cty Crackers" . Its orange. Sean, made a suggestion, if you guys want to do this again I have some more. Hmm lets make it interesting, the next one if y'all want I will send to the first guy that names it with one kudo, have to make bendy handle d-bow ! Sean sorry Eddie's in too can't be discriminatory to another Floridian.......................... ...bob

Hey! Yes, that would be an great idea! But if you do it too much you won't have any wood left, Eddie will have it all.

Bob, you got us all confused, Pat's first guess was "citrus". Kind of a broad guess, but when you said no we quit guessing on the citrus.    Justin

[Coo-wah-chobee]

 No Justin, I said what is it. That requires a definite answer not a broad one. Hey, I didnt ask fer latin name Ok, sorry if I confused ya. So if we do this again do we agree no broad categories ? Pat you had right broad category. ......bob

  Justin,I'll send you a bag of wild oranges and a bag of hamlin oranges.You can tell us if you can taste a difference.The wild oranges are left over from the first oranges brought over by DeSoto.

I think that this is a great idea   Wish I would have logged in sooner    David

[Pat B]

So Bob, I guess that is Okeechobee Orange! ( like Osage Orange  )   I'm in for your monthly mystery wood. Is this just for bow wood or any wood that is primitive archery related?
  My next guess was gonna be the specific citrus fruits.     Pat

[Justin Snyder]

  Justin,I'll send you a bag of wild oranges and a bag of hamlin oranges.You can tell us if you can taste a difference.The wild oranges are left over from the first oranges brought over by DeSoto.

How about you send me a stave from each type and see if I can tell the difference.    I know the difference, I just didn't guess citrus.  Now if Bob had said right family but be more specific, my first guess would have been Citrus aurantium also know as sour orange.    At least that is my story and I'm sticking to it.  Justin

[Coo-wah-chobee]

 Hey Pat, ! Ok so give me some more ideas guys . Lets make this a monthly board thing not just a few people. Eddie, youre involved in this I volunteer you ! Do we want just bow wood or like Pat's suggestion any wood that is primitive archery related ? Come on everybody put on your'e thinkin'caps !........bob

[Coo-wah-chobee]
