With judicious use of heat you can turn hard Elm practically into Osage and soft Elm into Yew.

Great looking bow, I like the knot remnants in the top limb.

Another fine looking weapon - I continue to be inspired. Never have tried Elm, but have a peice in the works..

Thank you guys.

I have shot the bow a bit. It shoots quite well and is pretty fast, for a longbow

WoW ! Nice bow , and you were going to try for "more draw weight" ? 70# seems like enough for what's left of my shoulders...

Paul
My shoulders are not the best either but I can pull more
