Drewster,
If I can find some photos of it, I'll post some pics of an Elm shorty you might like.

extremely simplistic; extremely effective (i've shot this bow a few times).

i was a little apprehensive at first to take it to my full 26" draw, but when i did, it was very rewarding.

excellent work :)

Very nice elm stick bow, nicely done. I the simple primitive look of it and you got a sweet looking bend on that baby, has the smooth look of an english long bow at full draw.

Very nice thunder! The bend is beautiful. I really like the simplicity of it. Love the profile. Patrick

Very cool... great tiller, looks a bit like one of my ELBs. I'm sure a medieval Englishman would be happy with that, once he'd got over the shock of the different style nocks! ;D

Very nice! I have some red elm staves I cut about two weeks ago and I can't wait to start on one.
