Now that is a twisted tree. Be OK for a laminate bow though

Just a stock picture I snatched off google.
I have at least one very large hophornbeam tree down in my woods, lots in the 6" range to 8" range. I have never tried it for bows because I have so much osage stockpiled.

Nice haul Swampman! Sapwood looks pretty thick in that locust, that ought to mean its got some thick rings for easy chasing.

I didn't really need that wood but I find it awfully hard to drive past logs that I know will be reduced to chips within the next week!
