What's the botanical name for Mayhaw?  Is it a viburnum?

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

As far as I know it's a type of hawthorn, my relatives call it thorn Apple.

I have access to hawthorne on my place. Got one knotty stave I've had roughed out for 4 or 5 years in the shop I could send pictures of if you like. Definitely not Texas/Lousiana Mayhaw, though Wikipedia says both are Crataegus.If you come up dry on the mayhaw let me know. Most of our hawthorns are knotty & fork at something short of 4 feet above grade.

I have several around my place, the parsley hawthorn variety, but it is gnarly, forked and checks just by thinking about cutting it.  It is some very dense wood though.

Well if you can get a usable stave that would be great. Shoot me a pm.
