Bow Woods

[LoneWolf]

I have seen several questions and threads on will this wood make a bow lately.  If possible, lets list them all in one place.  I have seen several folks making bows from woods I didn't know would work.  Would be nice to know of any that have been tried that worked out good.
My short list of successful bow woods(ones I have used):
Red Oak, Hickory, Peacan, Iron wood, Osage.  

anyone else want to list their sucessful woods?

I listed IronWood, thats what I heard it called around here, it is actually a black locust, sorry.

One that I'm going to try that may surprise people is scotch broom. I have my eye on a clump of 'old growth' scotch broom where there are 6' long trunks 2 1/2" thick. I saw it on a list of working bow woods.  http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/bowyersjournal/vpost?id=1385521&highlight=working+bowwoods
