Im no snob Carson! I have willingly used maybe 12 woods and was impressed with several of them. None have even held a candle to osage and hhb, until now. Lord help the next stand of this invasive species I find! I will chew 'em off at the stump if I have to!

Love the looks of that one.  I had never heard of buckthorn before I read your post on it.  The colors on it are really unique.  I wish it grew around here!

This is what I think a primitive bow is. It is simple, effective and with few tools needed. Well done Pearlie!!!  8)

Oh wow Chris, what a lovely bow that turned out to be. You really teased out the best in that piece of wood. The wood reminds me a lot of the cascara that we have in the NW. I can see why you are taken with it. And extra kudos for the excellent photos.

I too love buckthorn! The two bows I have made from it are great, like you say it is a really light wood that really just wants to bend. I love all your bows this one I would part with cash for!  It really makes me want to go into the workshop and build, if only the snow wasnt so deep!
