Green hickory as a type of hickory or unseasoned hickory?

That is sweet! Better not lay that one down in the woods, you might never find it.

The Native Americans of the past would have given you a heck of a trade for that bow. Is that a glass eye set in the hole? My next bow is going to be a hickory selfer , I hope it turns out as nice. Looks great   :clapper:
