Elm D/R PIC HEAVY!
« on: October 28, 2016, 07:44:38 pm »
After all the Elm talk I thought I would post this bow I just finished. It is 64.5" NTN. 43#@28". Dogwood overlays with chinchilla string silencers. I put some walnut stain on it to make the grain pop. This bow is going to a friend's wife. This was a decent piece of Elm and I wish I knew what type. Small leaves, mostly sapwood with a little red in the heartwood. Small tree at about 5" diameter. Now for pics..

The brace pic looked a little funny Jon but that full draw is SPOT ON!  I like the natural finish of the bow.  It really highlights all the natural beauty of a piece of wood like that.

Ajooter remember this is a natural stave not fiberglass out of a form  ;) Full draw is what matters. Thanks for the replies gentlemen.

You've been pumping them out ... and we've likely seen just small % of what you've done lately. Must be liking the new premises!
Fine lookin' bow, Jon.
