Nice work Mark...I'm imagining how smooth that bow is to draw right now.

Thank you!! They feel like a high early draw wt but smooth in the end. I need to do a draw force curve.

Beautiful bow, I think the price on red elm may have just gone up a tad.

Gorgeous craftsmanship. I'm curious what the unbraced profile looks like.

Beautiful tiller and awesome bow! Any special reason for a quad lam? Would’t two or three perform the same but be easier to build? Or maybe you build glass bows as well and have all the tapers worked out?
