Elm Hall bow
« on: April 01, 2015, 08:47:11 pm »
       Here is one I finished a bit ago. Its from some elm I and the "northern boys" got at The Elm Hall shoot.  She's a real sweet shooter.  65" of heat tempered elm, 47# at 27" maybe a fizz more. Tips are some super hard wood I got from Paul,thanks buddy! I heated about 5 or so inches into it and it kept most of it. It had a big time sideways kick that also took a bit of heating to get out. The bottom limb has a touch more reflex than the top. Finish is brown over green RIT dye mixed with acetone, then highlighted with 400 grit sandpaper, 10 or so coats of helsmans spar satin and wax over top the works. I was trying to go for the look Greg does on his bows but ended up with tree bark instead! ::) I have 4 more pieces from the same tree and cant wait to dig into it! The next one will be a D/R!

 Top limb looks shorter in the photo but I think I am tilting it slightly.

I was amazed at how much reflex it kept Bill.  I rarely work with elm.

 Got to see it in person and shoot it last saturday, absolutely perfect bow all around, just what you would expect from the misslemaster. Awesome bow Cody.
Of course we were all surprised when Paul found this minor surprise. >:D >:D
