Fine bow Jimmy...I haven't made one now in two years, am thinking it's about time to start another one and it may be elm.

Here is #3 in as many days. I think Cherubim has proven that it's a shooter.

Yes Sir!!

A Fine looking Bow you have there!!!

And some Lovely Backstraps to go with it!!!

I'm currently stalking a Lacebark Elm at my Mother In Law's house...

The more I see and read about Elm the more I'd like to give it a go.

May your string never break, and your arrows fly true!

Nice job Jimmy and I doubt if it's done yet.

I need t get mine finished,just can't decide if I want to stain it or not.

Great bow. I really like the effect that the stain gives the wood

That is a sweet full draw pic! Elm is pretty inpressive bow wood ain't it Jimmy.

Thanks guys. Yes, Pat I love the elm. I have it braced at 7 1/2" which is high for a selfbow and I hold a long time at anchor when shooting yet that wood isn't showing any string follow to speak of. I'm very pleased with it.
