One last question Simon, your tips, as far as I can see you have just cut a nock into the osage overlay and no guide on the sides, is that correct? Is the bow a little bent sideways I mean? Did you use two component glue for the overlays or wood glue??? Oh dear that is more than one question sorry, but your bow has just got me so excited about carrying on with my elm.

Danke Peter

Just looks so smooth to draw. Finish is also a stunner.

How did you finish/join the cherry bark?

The bark is one piece and glued on with TB III. Finish is a homemade hardening oil made of several components (used on all my bows), the bark is also finished with this oil.

Man that is beatiful!!! How does the heat treating work with the elm? If you did it it probably works real well  ;)
Thanks, Marco
