inspiring bow there Marc !!!

This spring I went walking along the river banks that were just loaded with Hawthorne shrubs...
after a half day of hiking and searching I found some pieces that may make a bow,,,, maybe..
closer examination revealed twists and spiral grain that I'm not sure is workable.
They sure like to grow gnarley!!!!!
So they sit, waiting.
waiting for some inspiration...
Now that I have some I just may see what suprises are instore....
Did your bark look like this? I'm thinkin a Hawthorne is a Hawthorne,,but....

If I have any luck I'll post, if not....

Oh ya,, love your bow!
