Either way, I kept it and sealed the ends.. I might try and make a bow out of it someday. I’ve still got some staves I can play with so I’m not really hurting for wood right now. I might try and get some more Osage this fall and maybe some more hickory this summer while the bark will peel off. Just thought it might be hornbeam and figured I ask those in the know.
I guess just take the bark off and that would be the back of the bow, like hickory.
