That's some tough stuff half eye. That stand of trees should keep you busy for awhile.

Doggone it Rich, you are going to get some great bows outta that ironwood.  That is an amazing little bow.  I haven't tried it yet, but have some spotted that I am going to cut this spring.  It looks like awesome bow wood.  Leave it to you make a deer killing bow 34" long! :D

Sweet little stinger there. That is impressive some impressive wood. 

PatM, I like your point about accidental kill rather than disease.

The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Very impressive little bow.  You can get more from a short piece of wood than could be expected.  Add to that dead standing.  Very nice.
