Ant infested American Hornbeam

[bassman]

Bow is 50 inches nock to nock, and draws 44 lbs, at 22+ inches.I show a patch in the riser to plug the only ant hole that was left after finished. This stave ran In all kinds of directions, so I tried to heat treat it in to submission the best I could.I am happy I got a short bow from it, because I was going to throw it away.The bow will stay natural, and finish will be linseed oil,and bee,s wax, and no handle wrap.

Nice little bow Bassman. That HHB can really be frustrating to try straightening. Sometimes it's even more stubborn than me.

Thanks Pat, George, Brogg.All that stave would give in length was 51 inches.Now I will shoot the heck out of it, and see what happens. Nothing ventured nothing gained.Pics aren't the best.

Cool bow. If it were mine I'd name it "The Angry Ant".

Another nice bow, Bob. You have a knack for those shorties. I think Hamish nailed the name perfectly.
