I am interested in using pecan as a bow wood. Any reason that pecan would or would not be a good choice for a bend through the handle, Cherokee style D-bow? Also, any idea where a fellow could find a pecan stave? I have searched online and came up empty. I have heard that like hickory, with pecan you can scrape off the bark and that is basically your outer surface of the back of bow. I am a complete newbie, so this would help - not having to chase a ring. Thanks!
