Great bow.
It looks like an illustration for the classic hunting bow in the Bent Stick by Paul Comstock.
Do you have a front photo showing the width profile?

I guess it seems crazy now that white woods were once not considered bow woods.

That's a really good lookin' bow...get hickory good and dry and it will definitely make a fine bow. :)

Great gift, lucky friend :).
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

Thanks for all the supportive comments. I did put some defelex in the bow when I had it a the floor tilller stage. Here are a few more pictures when the bow was in process. The picture on the tiller stick is on the long string at 10 inches. I don't have any other pictures of the bow but I want to take some after my firend has shot it for awhile.

I meant to say reflex not deflex.

The heck with the bow   >:D Love that living room.   ;) Good combo with stove next to fireplace.  You'd need it here in Montana this a.m. Heavy snow and 40's across entire state on June 11, '08
Got your fine bow bookmarked for June Self Bow of the Month, despite my cold fingers.
