Name that bow wood
« on: February 25, 2010, 10:00:36 pm »
I know this might be too easy for some, but I picked up a short log of an interesting species today from a friend of mine.  In this part of AL, you rarely see them this big and pretty.

Who will be the first one to guess right?

I should have a good 10 inches of heartwood to work with.

Another vote for Honey Locust.
