elm R/D
« on: July 06, 2015, 06:03:37 pm »
This was a doggy piece,bit of twisting and turning to get lined up.shoots fast,tips are 3-1/2" in front of the back at rest,feels like mid 40's at 26",heated,jute and leather lace wrap with rosewood tips.i must say this one has a ton of early draw weight!thanks rob!

Looks like a killer r/d bow Rob, nicely done. I've been inspired by your work with elm, always looks like you get the most out of the wood. I have one I'm working on now and keep looking back at your recent post for good examples of what can be done with elm.

Man, crazy how thin you made those tips and still recurved. Awesome bow.

I love everything about this bow. Beautiful!   What is her length?  60" or so?

Good design...is it just me or do my rusty eyes see almost a hinge starting to develop in the lower limb? Or is there twist from mid limb to fade in the lower limb giving it that its stiff there illusion?  ???
