Picked up a nice piece of Utile today. Was thinking of trying to make a bow of it backed with Hickory or Bamboo. Anyone ever try using this wood before?

Weight and hardness a touch higher than black walnut according to the wood data base site.

Look up the modulus of elasticity and compare it to other woods that are known to make good backed bows.
