  Great looking bow, plum takes less set than any bow wood I can think of. I think it is better than osage even.

Thanks a lot.
I have first impressions about plum, but I need more experience. However, I can not doubt in your opinion. I noticed Badger has a special relationship with plum, and I respect his opinion.

Very nice indeed. did you have to make a lot of corrections?  I have a couple of plum stave but they will need lots of steam corrections  to get them straight.

Bjrogg, good shooter for my standards, but I do not know if it's good enough. TimothyR, I had steam corrections and, after heat treating, re-corrections, but plum is easy to bend. Thanks guys
