Keep 'em coming. I'm hopeful to build a hackberry bow(s) this summer. I'm really liking what you're doing.

Thanks man this is my first hackberry bow and I now love hackberry it's easy to work with and when you steam it it bends like rubber. I almost like it more than Osage

looks nice!   I'm definitely a hackberry addict.
the biggest challenge is avoiding set. its verey forgiving wood, but like hickory it seems to be made of very bendy fibers.
and once they're bent... well , they just don't spring back....so make sure to toast the belly!
