Tim, that is a Banyon fig tree.
  Manny, you have been a bow making machine lately. Another incredible bow. How does the Japanese version of guava work?

Manny that bow is simply incredible.
must have been a bugger to tiller with the limbs being off set from each other,
but looks like ya nailed it.

                                                                    peace,

Thanks fellas,


Timo, they grow pretty fast, and get really wide by dropping roots of the limbs,..I could ask the landlord, but I don't think it's older than 40 or 50

here some pictures of Banyans in the wild






and my favorite, .......check out the trail thru this tree on a gulch bottom
