Title: before and after picks of my slippery elm.
Post by: birdpointlightstring32 on June 10, 2012, 08:52:34 pm

Okay I got about 12 hours in this one on and off. Just having fun and wanted to motivate my self by showing my favorite forum my new bow. I used a hatchet, draw knife, farriers rasp, files, and sand paper. Want to get as good as all of you.  ;D

Nice job on a tough stave. I have'nt worked elm yet but have a pretty good piece in the shed that will someday get its opportunity.  Danny

Nice work.  Nice bow and I love the pics of the tools in the dust.  Nice composition.
