Jesus, Greg....
You take a piece of otherwise pretty boring Elm and make a piece of art out of it.  My hat off to you, friend.

Thanks guys but I'm sure by the time everyone has their bows made and on the raffle table this one of mine won't look all that special. There will be some pretty fine looking bows to bid on and I'm looking forward to seeing them all and picking out one to try and win myself. From the number of participants involved there should be quite a variety to choose from. Its really fun to be a part of this with so many others, cutting a tree at the event one year and returning the next with a bow made from that tree. Cool idea and I think its Pearly that gets the credit for dreaming up the concept and getting a bunch of us onboard. :)

 finished up my Elm Hall donation bow. The piece of wood I got last year had some funny stuff going on and all I was able to manage to get was staves for kids. So I decided to go with it and figure make up a half a dozen arrows and a quiver to go with it. My goal is a setup for a kid between maybe four and eight. I'll get my kid to give me a full draw

Braced profile looks great, Paul. Kid is gonna appreciate that arrow rest and locator grip!

That's a sweety, Pauly. Stain always looks good on hickory and elm. The waves in the grain turn into instant camo. Great braced shape to.
