Definitely a nice bow! That left-over cambium does make a nice camo.

I'm ashamed that I'm the only one that doesn't understand what HHB means.  Is it hickory-backed-hickory?  All these, "BBO, BBI, IBO, etc." is new to me.

One of my recent HHB's ended up very light, but nice. It's 62" I toasted the belly and put some reflex in it , but it is now only 36# at 28".If I sinue the back what can I hope to achieve in weight gain.

You might get 10# Pete.   Find a kid to give it to.
SteveB, HHB is Hop Hornbeam like Dave said. It works very similar to hickory or even elm.

10# would be fantastic, I would be happy as all get out with 6 or 8, even 5 .

I just put the first coat of finish on  2 maple bows to give to kids yesterday. This one might just go that Kid route too, but it would also be a great one to learn to use Sinue on. If I live long enough, and try hard enough, I might be able to build one like yours.On the positive note everyone that goes sour has given me a wealth of experience on where I went wrong and how to salvage something from mistakes.
