#1 sinew and buckthorn-light weight and now dead.
#2 mulberry bendy handle-popped a splinter through silk and now a girls bow with a rawhide wrap.
#3 Hackberry character-came in light again  >:( >:(
#4 ERC American longbow-looking really good so far and shot it in some yesterday-probably gonna be this one if all goes well.
#5 another mulberry that is ready for shooting in.
#6 got a honey locust in the wings at floor tiller.

That's where it's at with me but no pics  >:D

ERC works so well I believe I could reduce a stave to floor tiller with just a  card scraper.
