Hey there!
I recently made a Wych Elm flatbow drawing 40# at 28", it came from a great tree one of the densest Elms I have ever worked with.Bow is named Quickbeam after Tolkien's Ent.

I can't open that link. How about just using the site upload feature?

Nice looking bow! That's the design I use for all my bows. Can't see any reason to change.
