Don't think we see enough hackberry bows. That one came out excellent. Coffee stain gave it a nice subtle change in appearance. Well done.

It looks great! I might steal that coffee stain idea next hackberry bow I do. I really love the look of that.

Thanx folks. I was looking for a stain that kept the natural look and something soft. The coffee worked better than i hoped. And with 4 coats of tung oil, I was more than happy with it.

I have to agree. I think hackberry is a first rate bow wood and is too often overlooked.

Nice work on this one!

Thanx again guys. I use hackberry alot because its so plentiful in my neck of the woods. It's easy to work and loves a good heat treatin. They make a fine bow and a great hunting bow as well.
