Nice, the knotty back and that bit of reflex is really great.

That is one interesting bow for me.  I used to live up there in Buckthorn land.  Cut more of that stuff down than I care to remember doing environmental conservation volunteering.  It's choking out the hickory and oak savannah that is native.  Been wanting to see one for sometime and your's is super.
Great job!

MAN! I love to see bows like this. I have a few staves of this, I though it was black cherry, but a different species. Buckthorn...derrr. now i know. hahahaha. Keep making bows of this quality my friend. I just love seeing the grain followed  correctly.

Curious: anyone ever measured the density of buckthorn?
