Beautiful bow. Is the channel through the handle from the pith?

That must have been a fat piece to end up with flat limbs on the belly. In my area it grows as a small bush.Nice bow.

Del, Pat B, Santanasaur thanks)
bassman  I made it from an elderberry trunk about 6-7 centimeters thick.
I live in Ukraine, here they grow to a much larger size.

That would be Black Elder then would it? Black berries? The elder hear has red berries and I don't think it's as good.
