That is a great looking bow. I really like the finish on the bow. I was wondering did you take the white sap off of the red elm stave or did you leave it on. Dean

Thanks a lot fellas for the comments,I sure appreciate it. Dean,The back of the bow was right under the bark,you can see some of the heartwood on the handle ,as this one was made from a small tree. Thanks again.    God Bless
