Black Locust Deflex/Recurve 45#26" , 64"ntn

[backtowood B2W]

Thank you!
I just sealed 12 staves which I splittend out of a 150 piece pile of B L fence posts!!!
The moistermeter shows something around 12 -14 %.
They are already tipped so I cannot use the whole length, probable 58-64".
They splittend like a Dream, even from the smaller side of the post, which I had to because of the tipped thicker end of the poles.
Costed me 18€ 
My only concern is if its honey locust!?!
The bark isn't on them anymore so I have just the wood to classify.
Guess a pic would help, try to make on...

b2w: I knew you got some good bows in stock  Glad you showed it - it's a real pleasure to watch. Again I can see that special something in a bow of yours. I think it's that little extra attention and patience you always pay your bows. Cheers
