Sweet bow, BH.  Real pretty color. We need to take up a collection and get you some pasties!!! ::)

Thanks zenart...in my opinion as far as white woods go and in my area hophornbeam is the best whitewood I have available,and the best whitewood I've used in general...I'd say its in my top five fav woods with osage being number one of course,but its up there on the list with yew,black locust etc...you can almost make it to similar dimensions as osage pending on the quality of the piece(big factor you need to be able to read in general with any wood)..and in this case with this exceptional piece it is made at osage widths...the key to it tho really is in tempering it...with any piece of wood regardless of species I tiller it till its ready to brace,then stop and do my heat shaping,correcting,and tempering all at once...and as I finish the tiller out I care full monitor my set and loss from its starting position and if it takes normal healthy set then I leave be alone(as I did with this one)..and in most cases that one time is enough with most all woods I use... rarely have I ever tempered a bow twice..only a handful of times...if ya do your part it'll do its part for you..but tempering really helps this wood,or should I say enhances it,cus it does do well on its own without it as well

Thanks pappy ;)

Thanks will :)

Thanks Greg...atta boy in going to get ya some of the white gold

Thanks Kenny...sorry...the dirty hippy in me just don't like clothes when he doesn't have to wear em  >:D  :o ...

Thanks Donald...I'll go back and make em smaller if you think they need reduced? ;)


Thanks 4dog.....lol...you got that right

Wow, that is a quick dry bow!  Very cool finish work, reminds me of Jimmy Page's Gibson guitar from Led Zeppelin.  I can think of at least a dozen names that bow could be given from Zeppelin songs! ;D

Cool stick o' beam!

Thanks Blackhawk, for taking the time to give detailed HHB info. Helps a lot to get this kind of feedback for each particular wood, what it's like, how to work it, all that good stuff. I appreciate it bro. btw- 'Sunrise' causes me to reminisce of a hot yeller Z/28 Camaro I once had.. put a trick flame job on 'er.. total chick magnet.  8)
