Three short videos on some kids bows made from Oceanspray (Holodiscus discolor, also known as creambush or ironwood). Made right from green wood, so they ended up taking quite a bit of set - but this is actually good for the young folks. It makes stringing the bow easy and also if they accidentally dry fire - which is bound to happen - it won't effect the bow as much.

Oceanspray Creambush is the name it is known by around here (some also call it "ironwood", but that name is connected to many different plants, depending on area).
