This is a little Elm bow I got done. 52"ntn 50#@26". Put a mild gull wing shape in it and covered it with some Rattle snake skins. Thanks for looking

Thanks guys and yes I am a hunter Rich. I have studied your bows quite a bit over the last year or so and you get the credit for the stylish bend sir.

.  That bow has an awesome bend especially for such a short length, way to may those limbs work. I bet it is fun to shoot. I also like the skins and finish.  Really nice job Jon.

Everything about that profile is pleasing on the eye, unstrung, braced, full draw all lovely stuff.

Heck yeah!  I like that little bow.  Elm is a pleasure to work with, once you get it down to a stave....   That is a bow made to hunt with.   :)
