Elm Take Down
« on: July 20, 2013, 05:31:30 pm »
I have been lurking here for quite a while, I thought it was time that I introduced my self and post a bow that I built with some of the valuable information that I have gleaned here on P.A. This bow is White Elm. 60 inches n to n. pulls 47@ 27. Raw hide backed. Rattan wrapped grip with a floppy rest, takedown sleeve is homemade, cold forged from Hurricane fence pipe. Finish is leather die and Tung oil. The tiller is a little off on the lower limb but it shoots so good and is so well behaved, I think I will just leave it as it is. This bow has excellent cast is my best bow to date. Thanks guys for all the help. Dan

Welcome Dan and thanks for posting your bow, some us want to see new bows every day. ;D ;D
That bows nicely done indeed, a good looker with excellent tiller and looks fast to boot. Nice!
