Cascara is what it's called though I'm not sure if it's the scientific or common name.
On OSU's Horticulture website it says It's Rhamnus purshiana [Cascara, Chittam] Joel

Also callled buckthorn.

Keenan sounds like your in Love

Good fer you man.

Sorry I missed that - thank you, Yooper. I'll have to check and see if that occurs here in NC, just for info (and maybe more - LOL)

Bernie I believe there are several species, its considered a invasive here in in michigan.
Ask Hillbilly he would know

Thanks Deerhunter and Yooper, good luck on the search. The bark peels of real easy and is yellowish inside with a distinct sweet smell. If your not sure if it's cascar just lick the bark and wait a little while

If you don't find yourself running for the trees it's not cascara

Nice job

LOL - I think I'll pass on the taste test, Keenan - I've always been pretty easy to move and might not make it to the trees. Check out my page on your lovely wife and her beautiful new bow.

Really nice bow I just have to ask you, where did you get the sturgeon skins?

Keenan · « **Reply #67 on:** April 26, 2008, 01:48:22 am »

Fundin, Thank you, The sturgeon skins are from friends that fish often. I have some more coming soon but already have several sets spoken for. Depends on how many I get in the next batch.Some of the other guys on here have been real paitient with me and they get thiers first. But I'll keep you in mind.

Bernie; your web pages are looking awesome. Thanks for letting us be a part of it.

My pleasure, indeed, Keenan, and thank you. BTW did you want your Wif's first name in there or did you leave it out on purpose (or did i just miss it - again - LOL)?

Fundin · « **Reply #69 on:** April 26, 2008, 03:12:07 pm »

No worries, I have located a source ;o)

Bernie, Her name is Lulyn and she said to tell you thank you. She is going to respond but has been running errans all day.

Thanks, I'll slip it in the text - seems better somehow. She also is most welcome.
