Very pretty bow, looking great with the bark on. But it doesn't even remotely look like any hazel I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of it. Are there radial streaks, "hazel-rays" visible in the fades?
But whatever it is, it looks gorgeous.

The bark does resemble hazelnut, but I've never seen one quite that bumpy. The belly looks a little dark for hazelnut, but if you have a finish on it, it would be darker. It's a cool bow though. very unique looking.               Dale

Too dark and bumpy for Hazel but great bow.
Maybe some sort of wild plumb?

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
