plum branch bow

I got two nice pieces of plum drying now  it looks like some really dense wood..........Cut a pear a couple weeks ago and didn't get a stave from it,,when you split it,  the grain just runs out,, it's pretty wood tho.

I was up in Kentucky this weekend and cut a chunk of some sort of wild plum. It's a bit short and crooked, but I'm gonna try to get something out of it. There are lots of wild plums around here but they all look like petrified pretzels.

wasn't the chapter on bow wood great? although it has caused me much grief. a few years ago i was just getting into bow making, while simultaneously doing some landscaping. to make a long story short, i removed and threw out about 14 very large overgrown lilac bushes. now i find out that lilac can make a great bow. there must have been a few hundred bows in there.

I have discovered a discarded pear tree in the neighbors ditch. I would think that it would work as well as plumb. Gonna give it a try regardless - I'm going to sneak down there with the chainsaw next week. I know everyone thinks I've fallen off the deep end .
