Cut down a couple very large crape myrtles for a friend yesterday. Is there any reason to try this stuff for smoking?

Thanks - guess I'll pass on the using the wood this way. But curiously, there is a following for using crape myrtle for making longbows . . . anyone for Robin Hood?

Not surprised. Te ones in our yard have been bent flat to the ground at times by the wind. But never lost a branch... strong stuff!

Actually have a friend that makes long bows. I have used one of his at a rendezvous competition a year or two ago now. Was a really NICE bow with about a 50 lb. pull. If memory serves, I took about 27th place out of about 27 !
OTOH, I took third in the tomahawk and second in a black powder rifle shoot off !
Anyway…I wouldn’t doubt that Jake would love to try making a bow of your wood…But we’re up here in Northern MN (about 1/4“ away from Canada on the map) and you’re where?
