I really like that one. Elm has such a pretty grain to it, especially with that nice finish you have applied.

Dang bushboy!  You and that elm seem to be real good friends!  Another beauty sir, I really like the tip contrast with the dye job.

Great bow. Im impressed by the poundage, the width, and that it isnt a full bendy handle. At that width and weight i would have expected a D bow.  Great job!

Thx's again guys! :)!it weighed in @ 18.3oz with the handle wrap on.i think a couple of things contribute to the high draw weight.one,the limbs are very rectangular with a very slight rounding of the corners.also I cut this wood in very early spring when the leaves just fully matured in a nutrient full swampy estuary, the wood had an intense sweet smell when I heated treated it.these are my speculations.the bow was closer to 70lbs when I first brought it to brace,so I scraped it a bit to a more reasonable weight.i suspect it may lose a bit more weight after a few hundred more shots.thx's rob!
