I did as a kid but never anything good.  Understand it can be brittle.......but could be wrong.  It is in the mahogany family.
Happy hunting to all!

Someone on PA built a chinaberry bow a few years ago. Have you tried a search?

I just got 18 hits when I did a search for "Chinaberry". Some back in 2009.
