Anybody build a bow from Choke Cherry??. I have a 60 inch log dried out and wondered if any of you had built short wide bows from it. Any help would be appreciated...........John.
I know this doesnt count but when I was a kid I used to cut down choke cherry trees that were about an inch in diameter and string them up green as a workable bow. Worked great back then for a kid just knockin around the farm.
On a more serious note its my understanding that most any fruit wood will make a bow.
i did a riser with choke cherry....looks nice stained
Choke cherry makes a very good bow. I have a stave I will be working on soon. There is a good build along on PA by Gordon, making a choke cherry bow.
Thanks Pat I will check that out. I will try a wide plains style bow maybe back it with something. John.
Also though I've never used it.The old bowyer I learned from use to make choke cherry bows.
