Black Locust bow

This is the hardest wood I have ever seen ! The first settlers prized this tree because it's near rot and insect proof. Bows have been made from fenceposts of Black Locust which have been in the ground for 100 years ! It's also near tool proof and most saw millers won't touch it. I use no power tools so this was a slow process. Drawlade, plane, hatchet must be sharpened often to shave off the thinnest sliver from it.The grain inside is a unique two tone green and yellow and makes a beautiful finish. The photos show how thin it had to be to even draw an arrow back because the wood is so dense. It also has a bend at the grip area which makes a natural grip. It looks like a kids bow but I believe it's the fastest shooter I've made. This little thin bow draws 45 pounds at my 25 " draw. That will kill a deer at 25 yards.
