How long since this was cut
  I was thinking the same thing...Is that wood still green?

on the mini crepe myrtle bow, I'm pretty sure it's all dried out.  It was made from a sliver off of a 6' stave.  I do see the green in the bark though.  I think that's just the color of the bark.  I'm not sure that it ever goes away.  Maybe someone with more experience with crepe myrtle can verify.
Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!

I do know that very dry hackberry can take some very severe bending without breaking.....it is amazing to watch a piece bend like that.
Happy hunting to all!
