Syringa Short Stickbow

<< < (3/3)

backtowood B2W:
Nice short stick. The profiles are great! Making one of those is on my list, too. Shooting them, as well. Once, I got a pretty nice straight lilac - when I splittet it twisted almost 360degree  :fp

Gordon:
Hi Tuomo and bambule, I was told that it is syringa by the person who gifted me the wood. That said, I do not know for certain that it is. Whatever it is, it made a nice bow. And thank you for the compliments!

Thanks Weylin, now that I am retired, I will indulge more in making bows. Probably not one a week though as I also love to fish and hunt.

Thanks Dave, I'll show you the bow next time you visit. I think you will like it.

Thanks for the compliments Will, Pappy, and Mullet.

Thanks for the compliment B2W, but based on other's comments, I'm beginning to think this may be a different species of wood.

Gordon:
I did a little research on Mock Orange on the Internet and discovered that it is also commonly referred to as Syringa though the species is not related to lilac.
