Cherubim - a winged elm selfbow
« on: October 07, 2011, 07:56:50 pm »
This bow is made from Winged Elm. It's 64" NTN. It is 45# @ 27.5" The tip overlays are cocobolo and phenolic. I am shooting a 10 strand D-10 string. Elm is a white wood. I stained it with red mahogany and then sealed it with Tru-Oil. I am very pleased with the performance thus far. It seems to be a very springy wood.

Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
