Ayup all,
My name is Leon (UK) and i have been lurking on this site for a while after i found a reference over on paleoplanet (great bunch of people
).
I have spent the past few weeks looking through all of the great threads and bows on this site. I have only been bending sticks for the past year or two so i still have a lot to learn from you lot. I thought i would kick of my first post with a new Wych elm bow to say hello. I enjoy traditional wood work in general and i am interested in primitive skills and bushcraft type stuff.
This bow is about 50lbs, wych elm (ulmus glabra) it has taken about 1.5 inch of set relaxing to about an inch. It is 2 inch wide at the fades. The tips could be smaller but i am happy with the way it shoots at the mo. Please ignore the dodgy stance and ciggie in mouth in the full draw, not much room in my garage and i never get the camera timer right
Looks like a great place to hang out and talk bows,
Cheers,
Leon.
