  HICKORYSmy favoret white wood. I've made 3 take downs ,2 were hickory ,1 osage.  One of the hickory I used a fold up sleve. I made the 2 hickory bows pyimid.  62"58#@28" It was fast but I made a 58"55#@26" that smoked the 58#. Do'nt know why other that the shortness. These bows were center shot and tillered as far back in the fads as I cound make been.It seams that most white wood bows tillered like this shoot fastest in pyimid.
