Gnarly American hornbeam
Pat B:
Don't think I've ever seen a hornbeam bow before. I was given a stave many years ago but don't remember what happe4ned to it.
You did a great job with this cool bow, Jim. Tiller looks perfect. :OK

Very cool character in this bow. It’s got some dips and hills to it for sure. Makes for a challenging bow. Well done.
WhistlingBadger:
Oh, that is cool! How does it shoot?

Great looking bow, love the gnarly back. Tiller looks great.

Bow has medium speed as near as I can tell, smooth draw, no remarkable hand shock. I'd hunt with it. It's big appeal, I guess, is the look of the back. Makes it seem surprising that it shoots like any other self bow. I'm happy with the outcome.
Thanks to all for looking and commenting.
Biggest thing I notice in the pictures is that over the years I have developed a very hunched over stance. 8-(
