That's a beautiful bow; full draw and braced profiles look dead on.  I've been hoping to find some decent elm that isn't already dead and rotten around where I live.  The only one I've spotted so far is in a place I can't legally cut it.  Dutch elm disease seems to be pretty rampant around Watertown, NY.

Howdy Pappy,

(And Happy Hollidays ;))

I just can't stop lookin' at this bow.  Wow, it looks like a sweet shooter.

I have a bad case of  bow envy.

Thanks for sharing,

Very nice.  Good work.  I really like the curves on that bow.
