Sleek is right, elm is AMAZING. Heat treats well, makes sapling bows, it does everything. Like a poor mans osage

John, look at my build along in the "Archives" section...60" elm static recurve, beginning to end" lots of info there.
This was my first elm bow and I fell in love with elm as a bow wood.
