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.

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.
