Hawthorn(thorn apple) seems to make very good bows. It is hard to find a suitable stave as hawthorn grows sorta twisty. Got any pics of your new bow?

Yes i've made a few and they are good bows. You don't see many because the wood grows in a way that isn't exactly the best for bows...the worst thing about it is the inclusions.
