Thanks for the offer Howard but save those remaining staves for yourself brother, that stuff is all over up here. Was out hunting this past tue. and was eyeing it everywhere, some nice straight ones too but on public land where cutting is a crime. I'll get out this spring and find some on private land that I can harvest, gotta be much easier to come by here than where you live. Looking forward to seeing your next hhb bow posted here.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Nice bow there Howard. I guess I'll go looking for some of that wood this spring.

Nice bow I like it.
Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

Nice job, love the full draw pic.  I have used HHB a few times and have to agree with you it is right up there with the best bow woods.
