Cody you have propelled yourself to the list of top bowyers in the world. Your quality and attention to detail, is seen in all the bows you have been making and this one is certainly one of the best. Congratulations my friend on another amazing work of art and lethal weapon.

Howdy,

Buckthorn!  It's a "'junk wood" in that it's an aggressive, invasive specie that is taking over large areas of public and wooded lands.


'European Buckthorn; Problem for Ecosystems,...'
"...tests showed European buckthorn to have approximately the same values as hard maple in bending strength, stiffness, and hardness. Specific gravity was also similar to that of hard maple, although additional samples should be tested to confirm this."

http://www.barrygordon.com/Buckthorn_Article.pdf



I like to see that the stave had problems and how you delt with those challenges.  And, those curves, well done.  It'll make meat for sure.

It's a beautiful bow!  I can't wait to get out there and get me some Buckthorn.

All the Best,
Canoe

I have a chittamwood stave I need to work on . I cut a tree on my place that was nice and straight , split it in three staves , I gave one to Ksbow in Kansas and one to the president of the Oklahoma Self Bow Society. Hope to see a bow out of one of them next year.
