I could be wrong, but I always thought Tupelo was a soft poplar like timber. If so it wouldn't be a very good choice for a bow.

It's only going to be the backing.  Maybe it  would be a good match for ERC or Cherry.

Like I said, the swelled butt is very soft, up in the trunk above the swelled butt the stuff is so hard it will smoke a bandsaw blade.
