Re: Carson - I think it's a maple.  It's one of a couple trees (a mulberry and possibly a plum) in my back yard that will probably become staves when summer rolls around.

Looks like there are some staves in it to me.  If you decide to get some hand tools, let me know I can put together a good package deal for you.  Just shoot me a PM.

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
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 nice bows! Really love the profile of that one you are pulling on the last picture!


PS: a little note on that M.Thompson quote: He is wrong at this point, the lyre was first, so the bow evolved from art, not vice versa. There are flutes carved from mammoth ivory twice the age of the Holmegaard.
