Anybody ever make a bow from redbud?

Thanks Tracy, the two I cut are too twisted to get a bow from, but that stuff's as common as fescue around here, so I know I can find a better one.  After I split those, I started really looking at the bark and you could see the twist. The next ones I find, I'll study the bark a little better before I cut it.
 Billet size stuff would be easy to get, but I want to try to find a long piece before I resort to that.
 I'm determined to make a bow from it, and will sooner or later.

Looked up the specific gravity of redbud, .63 or about the same as some oaks. Not real tough stuff but should make a bow.

I cut a storm downed one up for an elderly neighbor a few years ago, sure was pretty wood. It was already in firewood sized pieces before I thought about making a bow from it.

I never even heard of red bud, but it looks like a nice hard wood, you Americans are lucky you've got way more species of tree to make bows from than we have over here on our little island, It makes me want to emigrate over the ocean!!!
