ya that bend looks great! very nice.  Ive not worked hawthorn yet. 

sleek:
Dang Pappy, always good to see your work, and thats certainly a nice one.

Pappy:
Thanks guys, Dave it is some beautiful wood, very light in the hand and I think most I have seen has a lot of character but seems to be very tough and springy kind of like Yew.I did get it a little closer when floor tillering than I probably should have is the reason I missed the weight I was looking for which is usually about 50 at my draw. Next piece if I ever get anymore I will get it strung a bit earlier , live and learn I guess.  :)

Very cool hawthorn bow, Pappy. I don't think I've ever seen a piece of hawthorn that straight before.

Pappy:
Thanks Pat, it wasn't all that straight before but reacts well to heat, actually really well.  :)
