No,if your in the S. Texas brush country,you won't have HHB.I lived and worked about 7 years in Pleasanton,for Halliburton,back in the 80's.It's south of San Antonio,ever been there? God Bless

Sure, been to Pleasanton! I live in Ingleside, across the bay from C.C. about a 1.5 hour drive S. of Pleasanton. I'm working a lot with Huisache as a bow wood. Hard to get a straight piece but have found it pleasant to the eye and near impossible to break.

Pete, that's an excellent looking bow. Great job-I like the tiller, finish, and overall design. I'm another one who likes angled overlays, used them a lot with no problem so far.
