Blackhaw
« on: February 16, 2009, 11:34:47 pm »
Been absent for a long time.just got re-registered today so figure I'd give a big howdydo and ask a question. I've been looking at some blackhaw trees on a farm that I hunt.Most are small as they are considered a shrub,(viburnum)but I found one that will make a bow. Curious if anyone might know the sg on this wood?

Good to see you back in with us Timo. Don't know anything about Blackhaw. Are you going to make it to Ojam this year? Sure would like another taste of your wild pig again!  Terry

Welcome back Timo. I have used blackhaw(Viburnun prunifolium) for arrows with good results and have eyeballed a few trunks that were big enough for bows but haven't tried it yet. You might as well give it a try. ;)

I found an old reference that listed the SG at .83, seems a little high. I've always threatened to try it, but never have.
