Just throwing this one out there in case anyone can ID it.
If not I'm sure Alex can.
Thanks, Craig.

The trunk and bark surely looks like yellow Guava, the leaves look a bit different but not much just a bit thinner
.......the more I look at it, the more I wanna say definatly yellow Guava

I'm really finding it difficult to get a nice long branch that isn't twisted, every time I find a good pice it, has been bored out by a beetle grub.
I've made, 2 sort bows and it has great potential. |

I would listen to Manny.
Though, one thing, guava leaves dont seem to alternate, this tree does. Unless maybe sub species.... the leaves are shaped same with similar vein pattern. Sorry, I thought guava too, maybe in same family as guava, which is also same as myrtles~ Anyways, I can just say it will be good bow wood anyways. I'll see if I can find in my book. |
