Red elm flatbow (pic heavy)
« on: August 14, 2013, 03:38:41 pm »
Hello,

Posting another bow I recently finished for my father-in-law.  It is a self bow made of red elm and measures 58" ntn.  The limbs are 2" wide along 2/3 of their length.  She comes in at ~33# @ 25 inches or so.  Did my best to paint some nice patterns on the back.  Also left a tiny bit of the spring wood above the chased ring for a slight "camo" effect (not sure the pictures capture this).  Glued on a bit of black walnut to the belly side of the handle for extra niceness.  Each limb took on about 1/2" to 1" of set.
