I really like this one! You don't see chokecherry all that often.

Love the heartwood. Beautiful job!

That is a very nice bow. That chockecherry heartwood sure has a lot more color than any I have ever cut.  Sinew job looks great too. I love it.

The grain is gorgeous!  Tiller looks even better.  I have one more piece of chokecherry laying around that eventually will get made into something similar in design.  Badly bent has the other half of it.  Nicely done Sir!  Josh

That is a beautiful Bow! Congratulations. Can you tell me what chokecherry is? Common names are tough to track down info from. I live in NJ and Chokecherry here is certainly not bow material (Phytonia previously known as Aronia). Thanks
