Auggie....play nice... >:D......I have made many...many joes from Sycamore....I believe that it makes a great bow....just don't expect 70 pounders from it....I have made paddle bows...recurves.....deflex/reflex ...I believe it is a very resilient wood with a lot of missed potential....jmo

  I'm not understanding the last post. There are not two types of sycamore Sycamore is ,acer psudoplatanus Its a species of tree of the family acer ie Maple,  and the type is psudoplatanus simple as that, and the scientific names were created to get rid of any confusion, no matter which language or country you came from.
