That is cool.  I have seen a couple of beaver sticks that got me thinking beaver bow, but I never found a real good candidate.  That is pretty awesome you snagged it then turned it into a bow right quick.

I was going to say it looks like ash, but I don't know where you got it.  Might be lots of other potential woods in your area.

No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

It came off a river bank just outside of Tulsa Oklahoma. It is a real tension strong wood, but kinda compression week, responds real well to heat treating. I wish I knew what the wood its, but Mr. Beaver made identifying it impossiable. A beaver tail wrap.... Hmmmm, with a beaver tooth inlaid as an arrow pass.....
