tree id?

Thanks for the replies everyone.  I've spent the last couple days looking at hundreds of pictures trying to figure out for sure what it is. I gave up and decided to go with Pat's line of thought, call it bow wood and try to make a bow from it.  Thanks again,  Josh

Yup, that's it!
'Bow wood' LOL
I knew I recognised it!

Lol! Good eye Del!  Anasazi, that would be an option if I was from that area, however I was just passing through the area and sorta aquired the limb on the fly. . The wood appears to be diffuse porous and extremely dense.  It is at least as heavy as Osage.  While its green anyway.  Thanks for the replies,  Josh

I am firmly in the crab apple camp. Bark, leaves, berries (apples) and thorns are all on the money.

And its awesome bow wood if you can dry a straight-ish piece.

Thanks Gabe.  How does it take heat correction?  I haven't split it yet, but just by looking at the bark I have a feeling that its gonna be a handful.  I doesn't appear to have a straight propeller twist.  More like a snakey back and forth twist.  I will probably wait til spring to find out for sure.  Thanks,  Josh
