marc- yup gave me a bit of trouble. i had wider sweeping turns originally and they pulled out just enough that the string would just touch the belly of the bow, so i re- steamed quick and bent just the very tips which of course gave me the tighter turns. thats white wood for ya...lol

Very, very, nice Job Ryan! I love it! Glad I was able to help you out in some small way.
Eddie, Come on brother lets see what you can do with that hunk of Elm. That thing should be very well seasoned by now!

Very nice job. I like the leatherwork and the overall look of that bow.

Now that's my kinda bow! Short, sweet and recurved. Should be perfect for hunting. That's the second nice elm bow I've seen in the last few days. We got lots of elm around here, why ain't I using some of it

what trading osage for elm? i suppose its not an outrageous idea, as they say- when you dont have something on hand it turns into high demand.
