Have any of you guys ever heard of sourwood before and is it a decent bow wood I've never heard of it before unless there is another name for it.

Roy from Pa

I know it makes awesome arrows.

Sourwood(Oxydendron arboretum) is an understory tree of the Eastern US. Sourwood shoots make great arrows(my favorite shafting)and will make a bow but I'd rather use other woods for bows.
