Tree ID once again

[NewBowyer]

We have tons of these but IDK what they are- usually grow straight but is there a bow in there?

[dylanholderman]

looks like a elm.
also those white flowers look like a honeysuckle bush, thats good bow wood too, best to cut in the winter though.

[Pat B]

Might be hackberry with all those corky warts. If it is hackberry it's good bow wood.

[NewBowyer]

Yup, got 2 honeysuckle staves drying right now. We're overrun with it but it seldom grows straight, tons of curves and kinks.

[Fox]

Definatly hackberry

[Eric Krewson]

Hackberry without a doubt.

[osage outlaw]

Hackberry.  Cut them now and the bark should slip off.  They make a great bow.  They like a good heat temper on the belly of the limbs.

[NewBowyer]

Do you wait until after FINAL tiller is done to heat-treat the belly? I've seen it done right after roughing out & floor tillering, but maybe that was just to speed up the drying?

[Wolfmanjack]

I’m always amazed at how different the bark on trees look from different regions.  We have hackberry growing all over here in south Louisiana and the bark looks nothing like that!

[NewBowyer]

I cut a small one & roughed it out a few months ago, before I had any idea what it was; it just looked like a possible because it's straight (although knotty). Will see how it goes.
