Beautiful bow and a lovely bend.  As frustrated as I've been by the elm I've tried, I have to say that I love the way elm grain looks.  Nice work!

That's a beauty of a bow Jon. I like the simple lines and the way that stain really makes the figure of the wood stand out.

Very nice JonW!  I really like the look of the grain in that Elm.  Someone else may have asked already, ...but do you know what variety of Elm that is?

I think the Dogwood makes nice overlay material.  It's hard as heck and takes on a pink color as it ages under finish.

Eric I wish I knew for sure the exact species of Elm this bow is. I have used it several times and for the most part it makes a good bow. Sometimes it just won't make a heavy bow no matter how much heat tempering.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Missed this one 1st time around, nice bow Jon and excellent looking bend. If it had small leaves check on Siberian Elm.
Not sure if you have that in your area Jon but could be what you have there. Grows like a weed here around buildings and
along roadsides mostly.
