Buckeye Guy:
Welcome to PA!

Johnny K:
Thanks!

I'm really enjoying the site, learning a lot...

SIIaCanuck:
John,

I'm from central Alberta and just joined the forum.  I work north of Edmonton three days a week but I don't have any leads on commercially available wood.  However, there is always the Saskatoon we have growing on the ranch at home.

If you'd like a bit to play with, let me know.  I'll see what I can find, we've got quite a bit but it the really straight stuff takes a bit of crawling around in the bush to find.  That being said, I'm always looking for an excuse to go for a hike with the dog.

Many of the plains tribes used Saskatoon (Serviceberry, Shadberry) and it's known to be a capable bow wood, both self and backed with sinew.

Just sent you a PM.

Pappy, thanks for the welcome! I actually finished it a while back, unfortunately it has developed a splinter and chrysals... Here's a link to the post, I had meant to put the link here earlier, seem to have forgotten...
