Man I love the way that one looks!! Rawhide turned out great.

Is the buckthorne a local wood to you? That is a new one to me.

That looks awesome. I've never heard of buckthorne that I know of. Great looking bow.

I got this buckthorn from a buddy in Chicago but I know it grows out here, also related to cascara
fine ringed and works easy, the sapwood seems soft but is great in tension, pretty wood too
