I was wanting to make a bow out of Hop Hornbeam.

Does anyone have a picture of what the tree looks like? I live in Illinois, and heard that we have them here, just not exactly sure what they look like.

Also, do you have to chase a growth ring, like osage, with H-Hornbeam? Any input is greatly appreciated.
