Thanks for the comments guys!
Thanks VM Bows. Idk what species, it does seem to be different than the stuff i tried closer to the Cascades tho. Seems denser, tougher, and much more gnarly and twisted. Splitting this stuff is pretty much impossible.
Thanks Markus! I think i got pretty lucky .
Thanks Pappy, hopefully i won't ruin it or turn it into firewood lol
Thanks Leskon! I'm really curious to see how this one shoots because of the twisted limbs. It seems like everytime i bend it the twist uncurls, so it feels really cool. Idk what that would do to the arrow flight tho.
Thanks Chuck, I know what ya mean about the finishing.... alotta times i just leave them plain as i shoot them in and then they stay like that.
Thanks Randman! Yeah i really do like this wood. Super tough! Well i might be able to rip some guys off with half-assed bows in the future lol
Thanks JW! I guess since i started with this kind of stuff since it grows around me i've learned how to cope with it pretty good. The good results i get are usually just the ones i really focus on, and all the others i rush just break!!
I guess its a kind of natural selection.
Hopefully i'll get the bow finished up this weekend and get a chance to shoot it!
