Looking real nice so far! Gotta love a wood you can cook with and make a bow out of ;) I've never tried making a bow out of it, gonna have to put it on the list.

I'm with Badger! I've only had enough for over lays and knife scales. I always thought it was a pretty wood. Where did you get a piece that long?

Very pretty. Really like the dark streak down the center of the belly. I'm sure it will really come alive when there is a finish on it.

That is a pretty piece of wood.  Nice curves.  Looking forward to seeing how it finishes out.

OK, who knew you could build a bow from mesquite?
I live in AZ, mesquite on every street corner, and every lot in town. Grows wild in the desert like a weed, and they are imported from Chile here because the Chilean ones are thornless.

Do you know what variety this one is?

Also, is it from a branch, or a split stave? (Mind is going a mile a minute!
