Hornbeam?

<< < (2/2)

burchett.donald:
 Now that's thinking! I'm not trying to make a bow O:) I'll just cut a long pole and see what happens...May even find some dead standing when I get there...

Pat B:
Cut the pole long enough to get the handle and a bow from I.  ;D

burchett.donald:
 Another good idea! I heard hornbeam is a beast when it comes to debarking and working...

JEB:
Debark right after you cut it. There is a group of us that get together on Thursdays and a couple are making hornbeam self bows.  I have made one and it wasn't bad to work.

burchett.donald:
 Thanks JEB, feel free to post some progress, would love to see it!
