Awesome-Elm is awsome bow wood and thats an awesome recurve nicely done Is that birch bark for the handle wrap?-Hammertime

I'm surprised you got that thing tillered so well around that knot, Really nice job, and a cool little bow.

[Acutus]

Sweet! I am so looking forward to building a character bow one day. You did an awesome job!!

[TBod]

Thanks a lot guys!

Hammertime, yes the wrap is birch bark, if you look at pic 3 there's  a tree in the background missing some bark (close to where the knot is)

Tomanyknots,  that's right

Barebo, I`d be useless on a shipwreck, can't make anything close to a bow without my bandsaw, workbench, wise, rasps, B50 etc..

 Love it, Awesome little character bow. Tiller looks great and love the way you kept  and used the natural curves.

[TBod]

Thanks Keenan! I actually tried to straighten it out some sideways for the string alignment, failed that and it turned out to be unnecessary.

Awesome lookin bow and the tiller looks perfect.

[ricktrojanowski]

Very cool. Expert tillering on such a difficult piece. I also love the handle wrap. Job well done

[Gordon]

Aligning curves can be hard enough without character in the limbs, but you handled it perfectly. Well done!

[DEllis]

That is a beauty. Tiller looks great and lots of character to boot. Some character bows just look ungainly but this one looks gracefull.
