Pete C's Self Bow of the Month for August
« on: September 06, 2009, 01:11:47 pm »
Congratulations to Pete Clayton of Whitehouse, Texas
His Slippery Elm Recurve is August Self Bow of the Month
http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,14604.0.html

From Pete:Just finished this bow,and gave the tru-oil a week to cure,braced it today,shot a few through it ,and took some pictures.
Slippery Elm   ,65" tip to tip,63 1/2" nock to nock  ,  1 7/16" at fades,slightly tapering to 1 3/8" near mid-limb,then tapering to 3/8" tips,with osage overlays.
Scarlet Rit dye on tips,walnut stain on rest of bow.Western diamondback skins.dyed calfskin grip,heat treated.This is my first Elm recurve,and I really like this design with this wood.it is very smooth to draw and shoot,and has excellent speed. It's 60# @28",and came out of a 4" diameter tree.I've got 8 pictures so I'll put 4 on this one ,and post another.  God Bless
