Very good as always. Bue--.  

My thanks Andre and Bue. Appreciated. Bue love your bows.

andrie- was just gonna mention white stinkwood, but then saw your signature. might also try some of the pecan nut orchards/growers, they often thin/ prune trees.

of course all the fruit trees.
i believe they were growing some osage down there too- it was being sold as hedges to keep the bad ou's out. believe there was a nursery around P.e. selling it- will ask my mum again!

my grandpa used a tree called a "vier hoek"
had 4 berries in cluster, and lotsa thorns- know that wont help much!!- but it was pretty good selfbow wood.
g'luck

You've been very quiet for a while fujimo.            

hey-ya Bob
been around lurking- havent been in my shop at all this summer- got a new sailboat(new to us)have to sail- cant afford the gas anymore- been out sailing and fishing, and "modding" the boat- to make it suit us-
but the deer are really moving now- so back to the shop- man i didnt realise how much i missed it until i went back into the shop again!.

Good to see you posting again. still haven't forgotten your earlier proposal about bows, but going through a rough period at the moment financially. Had big expenses on my van, blew up a new compound [yeah I know!] and orders drying up as we get closer to xmas.

sorry to hear about your bad luck, mate!
seems like you've had all three- now time to get better!
