Honey Locust

<< < (2/2)

I’ve made a few from thornless honey locust. Chased them down to a heartwood ring. It’s a decent bow wood but nothing special. I snag a few staves whenever I have access to a log. I made them 2” wide to mid limb and 64-66” long for a 26-28” draw. Heat treated one thoroughly and fire hardened another, which really improved it. It’s an attractive looking wood that takes on a really cool color as it ages.
