Nice job - the little things give it character like the small space in the wrap and the natural finish.

Nice Bow Ryan....and Yes Elm is a good Wood for a Short Bow! As for being Plain Jane....there is nothing more Beautiful than the Perfect Simplicity of a Self Bow at it's Roots....Nuff Said..... ;D

Looks good Ryan! Maybe plain Jane but nice. I've still got that piece of FL elm you sent me in the house - roughed out, recurved, tip overlayed and ready to tiller. At least your still pumping em out :).

Great looking bow! How did the ebay attempt go? If I had the money I would have bought that one for sure.
