[Ansteorra-archery] Steppes Bowyers and Fletchers Guild meeti ng Tuesday

[Derek Wilson]

Thanks for the info....I happen to have my eye on what I think might be a
good specimen of Hickory that needs to come down anyway on my fathers place.
I hear that Elm can be a real bear to get into the stave stage but after
that its fairly easy to draw the bow out....has that been your experience?

Although Osage is not uncommon in your area you might want to consider
hickory
which is much more prevalent in your area and east. Elm is another that
might
be available to you. That is also considered to be a premier bow wood.  And
it
is a durn sight easier to work.  I have been thinking of going up around my
hometown in eastern Oklahoma and securing some for use in future projects.
