Elm Warbow

PaulN/KS:
One "advantage" of elm over yew would be that elm is a lot easier to find in most parts of the states.... :)

BTW, both of those elm bows are amazing Marc...

Lombard:
Looks like a super arrow slinger.

Jude:
I think I've read somewhere that elm was a traditional wood for Welsh longbows.

CraigMBeckett:
Jude,

Yes Gerald of wales or Giraldus Cambrensis said the ones he saw were, however there is at least one old poem in Welsh that talks of yew bows, Robert Hardy referred to it in "Longbow"

Craig.
