Blackhawk:  I have some seasoned hackberry in the garage.  Just haven't got around to building anything out of it yet.  How did you bend it, steam or dry heat?

thanks bubby
thanks ifrit617
thanks gun doc...hope you dont mean literally ;)
thanks stave master keenan ;)
thanks vinemaplebows...one of these days i need to get me some of that wood
@clint...what are you waiting for....get to bending boy. the deflex in the working limbs are natural from those two knots,and the handle area was slightly reflexed,so i took advantage of this and made a 5 curve and flipped the tips with dry heat as i heat treated...kill two birds with one stone ya know
