Hey Simon, It wasn't well seasoned, but it had been cut for a about 6 weeks. If it was seasoned more, a little longer and tillered more evenly, I'd bet you could get a Mary Rose weight bow (you know, 130-150# ;) ) without more than 2" of set. It's not Yew, but it does have some of those light, elastic qualities. It also makes great flight bows--I'm told. I'll have to shoot it and see what happens.

That is indeed a good wood. Makes a good bow and is good for constipation as well :)

I agree, tillering to 34" at over 100lbs on a 74" stave would certainly cure constipation if I had it too! :o :
Freaky stuff Josh, nice one. I must Wikipedia that wood up.
Cheers,
Jeremy
SimonUK:
Jeremy, I already did. It's in the same family as hawthorn and blackthorn. The species asier was talking about do exist here but not in Scotland :(
