Anyone ever use "Bluewood" to make a bow its everywhere where i live..it has thorns and blackberries ..is evergreen..thinking i will give it a shot..just wanted to know from someone that has used it..wild texas tree.
-
Condalia Hookeri. It is a Rahmnaceae. Buckthorn. Some guys have been making some nice Buckthorn bows farther north of us. Different variety I believe, but sure worth a try. Most around here are far to small and twisted to get much use from that I see.

If you're in Texas you should be able to find some juniper or mesquite pretty easily
-
Oh yeah juniper and mesquite everywhere..bit the bluewood is growing yall and straight about 4" to 6# od at the trunk and 7' to 8' before branching..gotta give it a shot..it calls to me. O:)

If it is a cousin to the Buckthorn I've seen folks posting around the site, it'd sound like one that needs tried!
