Hi Will

The bow looks great, well done.
I thought the thinnest stave would come out to around 80lbs.

The Elm was grown in the Adelaide Hills (Australia).

Good luck with the next two!

Thanks Stuart!  It was a real pleasure to meet you in person, and thanks again for the staves.  I can't wait to see what the big one will come out at!

It's interesting to think that of you put this bow end down into the ground, that's about how deep Salisbury Cathedral's foundations go  :o
