Thats my favorite wood and my favorite tip design. I build all my tips with that degree of reflex if I reflex them at all that is. Makes the most sense to me.  I love that bow.

That is a pretty bend.  Love the way you finished it, too.

I have felled a number of Mississippi elms in hopes to make an elm longbow.  Yours looks great!  I would also like to try a hackberry bow.  I'm gonna try to mimic your bow if you don't mind.  Very nice decorations too!

Like this one a lot.  The most striking aspect to me is the shape.  Spot on if you ask me.  Great job!

Thanks again guys, finally got warm here so I was able to put some arrows thru it yesterday. I have to admit it is a fun one to shoot.

Greg,
That's a great looking bow,I really like your style, very aboriginal.  Your tiller, finishes and everything about your bows are top-notch Greg.  I also like the fact that you use a lot of different woods, this elm bow turned out really nice and if I see you this spring at twin Oaks I have some nice black locust for you.
Hope to see you the spring,
Ed

Wow!  I do believe that I now have a new favorite Badly Bent bow.  The entire bow is gorgeous, but the decor is exquisite.  Just the right amount of flash to enhance the appearance of the bow without distraction.  Well done Greg!  Josh

Greg:  I missed this one.  That is very nice.  Besides the obvious great  tiller blah - blah, I really like your decorating style.
