I did some reading last night. Turns out they DO use black locust for bows, but they complain about the same things I suspected - brittleness,...
I don’t know a lot about traditional bows, but I’ve never heard of building them out of black locust. I would have thought it too brittle. Osage...

They were four-wheel-drive cars before four-wheel-drive cars were cool!
You can look at Liliy's face and just see the mischief there! LOL! Both are good looking pups. Enjoy them!
It’s not that I mind most critters being around, even non-poisonous snakes, but it’s those sudden surprises that get me! LOL
Rude awakening for you, or for the possum? :thumbs:
