That's it! I'm going to go down to the creek and cut down a hornbeam I scouted out last year. Very nice work and bow!

Wow that's one of the cooler ones i've seen on here. Really like how rustic and durable it looks. That back looks like real muscle  :o

Wow I'm surprised to see this bow pop up 3 1/2 years later.. I was just getting my feet wet then. The bow is still holding up, although I don't shoot it much. That muscle wood is cool stuff. I may cut another this spring. I found a nice patch where it's remarkably straight
