Butch, One of the favorites woods for the Eastern Woodland style of bow was hickory. It is almost indestructible and they generally made longer bows. The Sudbury bow for example. Even with a bit of set it was a meat maker and defender.       Pat

Thanks Pat. I'll definitely give it a try.

Brian,
I live on Hwy 47 near nothing :) Saint Clair is at the junction of Hwys. 30 47 & I44. I know Lennie. He buys one of my Santa carving for Momma every year. Were you guys at Mojam this year?

Butch 
God Bless
