ugh, I'm with you on that one, M-P, I don't like Elm much any more. I've only made one, but that's about it for me...... :P. Give me Osage any day.
Nice bow, though, great to see you got a good bow out of it.

Elm in my humble opinion, is one of the toughest bow wood there is, and I use it all the time , the trick to it is to sinewback it, I have one right now that was shot all last winter and the customer sent it back so I could put snakeskins and antler overlays on the tips and it still after all that use holds 3in. of just unstrung reflex.     Trapper
