I just cut and debarked some staves I had seasoning with the bark on for almost a year and it's still wet  lol
I have one pyramid I started to work on last year right after i cut the tree and it's finally seasoned..  I have a good feeling about this wood
the early wood is very porous but when you start scraping, the pores gets much smaller and dense, I think it compares to white ash .. pretty close

I've built a few tree o' heaven bows, it compares more to good red oak and if you treat it like ro you will get a nice bow

arrows are nice too,, many Native arrows were 30 inches plus,, even though the draw was not that long,,

Nice and clean.  Very straight forward bow.  I like it!  Good job!

Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Nice one!
I like the f/d and the front profile.
The arrows are special too, I also use very long arrows.
