I’ve built a couple of Crookedsticks before, but nothing like that. Great job of turning that piece of wood in to a working bow. Very impressive.

I agree Arvin. That’s quite a looker. Hope it per as good as it looks.

Well it might not brake a record but it will look good trying. This wood is beautiful wood finished out.

Robert, the only variation in color I've seen is between the sap wood and heart wood. The sapwood is the creamy color and the heart wood is a greenish brown color. I've never seen the black. I have seen poplar boards that were both sap wood and heart wood together.
 I never broke any either. I tried shooting them into rocks, trees, etc but they always held up.

Thanks Pat!

I take it you did not break any? Was there much color variation in the ones you had?

I am used to poplar being cream/yellow ish so it was interesting to run into the black stuff. I'd seen blotches on some boards but found one solid 36" 1/2" by 3" piece that was all black. I really like them so far. I'd like to cut them out raw from a tree at some point, on my to do list.
