Just finished this one up for a boy scout auction in Indiana.  It's Hackberry dyed with some dark stain. 64 ntn and 45@28.  Tips are cocabolo and counter top sample.

Thanks for looking.
Dave

"counter top sample" - Neat.  I would have never thought of using something like that for limb tips.

Looks great!

Nice.  I wish that was in my personal inventory.  Looks good.

Sweet bow!  

Looks great.  Good idea on the tips.  Very unique.   Is that Corian or something?

That looks really nice.  Did you split out the stave?  Had a big hackberry log and tried to split it to no avail.  Way worse than the biggest osage log I ever attacked.

That thing is sweet! Thanks for sharing.

Sweet bow.

That looks very neat!

Thanks guys!
John. I think that's what it is. I have a few if you want to try some I'll send ya some.

Fletcher yep. I got the tree from a neighbor and split it green. Nothing 6 wedges couldn't tackle. By the way, did you notice the arrow in the pic? Look familiar?

Yes I did, David.  I have some that look just like it.  If I get another log I'll try it again.  The one I had was about 15-16".  Cut a notch with the saw, stick a wedge in and hit it with the sledge and the wedge would just jump out.  I beat on that thing for two days and finally turned it into firewood.  It is a very tough wood.  I split most of it with a gas splitter, it was like splitting rope.

I wish I was going to that auction, that bow would be coming home with me!
