Has anyone used this as a backing or for a bow? Just wondering how that worked out for ya. It seems to have some of the same characteristics of Hickory.

Nobody's ever used any? Not really up for being the ginnaue pig.........
Dave, I think Ralph Renfro might know something about that wood, but I have been wrong before. :D
Yeppir, I've made bows of KCT. In fact, I'll have some staves at OJAM in March. Makes a good shooting bow. Build it like you would a whitewood bow.
Look at the Bear's Paw website. Neil Jacobsen had a take-down on there a few weeks ago with Kentucky Coffee Bean limbs. Here's the only pic on the website with Kentucky coffee bean now, but you might e-mail him for a pic of the limbs.

Thanks guys, I'm thinking more of using it for a KCTO.....gonna try a different type of splice with that as a backing.
