Josh:
I have made a bunch of red oak bows and as long as you choose a board with really straight grain, it will make a great bow. :)
Parnell:
Don't give up on the Australian Pine. The one I've made is really impressing me with it's shooting. I've heard of some shooting tournaments on Big Cypress Res. and have been told that there are guys shooting with stickbows, but I haven't found out where to see the calender and haven't been myself, so, second hand information. We'll have to try to get a time planned for the Florida crew to meet up some weekend and see where it goes. Feel free to drop me a note anytime.

bowstring:
Parnell, a Fla get together sounds good! As for the Big Cypress,, had'nt heard of anything there,, would be interested in anything you find out! As to the "Bois De Fur", I'm not giving up! I plan to "cook it" in the truck for a few days to help with the MC. Its to the floor tiller stage, actually, very close to final tillering, so hopefully the extra heat will help the final stage,,
Josh, thanks for the Red Oak tip,, have made one before that turned out to be a fair shooter, though it took about 1 1/2 inch of permanant set. Went with a pyramid design, so I'm guessing a more flat bow design would work better in this humidity. What do you think? Oh, one other question,, are there any types of cane or bamboo growing locally?
Thanks, Guys ! "bowstring"
recurve shooter:
not possitive but there should be river cane all over the place down there. im in louisiana and its everywhere here, and makes awsome arrows. ;D
mullet:
No river cane down here, but plenty of good bamboo.
