Hawthorn bow

<< < (6/6)

Pappy:
Thanks guys, Stuckinthemud I am not sure if it is the same, this came from Ill. I think it will hold up Steve, very light in phy. weight and really springy. Not sure on the speed but seems very fast and good cast with a 500 grain arrow. Like I said reminds me a lot like Yew.

Pat B:
Stickinthemud, here in the US we have 4 or 5 different native hawthorns, all crataegous, and from what I've seen all quite curvy. It surprises me to see ones like Pappy used here. I've never found one with enough straight wood to build a bow. I do know it can be quite hard when dried.

Selfbowman:
Looks like a shooter to me Mark! Well done!
