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

Love the heartwood. Beautiful job!
Best Regards,

Andrew

Very nice bow! I see choke cherry often but I've never cut it. I should really give it a try

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 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

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
