Super!!!!!I'm supposing you've made bows out of it before.The map says it's native way down south like Florida etc.Course that same map says osage is only in Texas and Oklahoma too.Think they need to do a little updating there....lol.

From what I've read about these different type of elms I should be going after rock elm.Ulmus thomasii.I'm thinking shagbark and pig nut hickory will do too.

I have some mockernut hickory that's a year old. It's clean and straight. I'll be up by St Louis the 16th of January for a bow gathering if you're interested let me know. You could join us if you would like. Patrick

Let me know, I think sleek might have some of the elm you're looking for. I'll ask him later.
