120# Elm Warbow
KShip85:
Well I'm certainly no expert but here is what I have got to say...
Marc, I love the bow. You contributions to the world of bow making make you a master in my humble opinion. Your work in this style inspires me and I am hoping to build a heavy elm warbow in the hopefully not too distant future. I have appreciated all your various comments to my posts and consider myself privilaged to have access to the knowledge of a bowyer such as yourself.
Rod, I do not know you but it saddens me a little to see how your comments have progressed in this post. Going from "Nice tiller" to insulting Marc's skill as a bowyer. I'd like to think your first response to someone else's post commending the tiller and saying if you could see any issue with it as being the bow to nock transiton as being misinterpreted and blown out of proportion. Your comments later digressed further from constructive criticism to what I would regard as blatant insult. Perhaps things moved a bit too much from bow discussion to personal attack. Let's try to keep this a little more civil guys as I enjoy too much the fellowship and comradery of these forums to see them go by the wayside.
ADB, I understand what you are saying but be careful how critical you are of other's criticisms. If I'm not mistaken it was you who referred to my first post attempting a warbow with hackberry as resembling more a bromstick without giving any comments of encouragement. I'm new to the realm of bow making and don't claim to be a master of anything. But your comments to me were no better than Rod's here.
Anyway, that's me two cents...again Marc beautiful bow, I hope one day to be able to come close to your skill.

Kip,
I looked back to try and find your post, but could not. Could you direct me? Is it under warbows, or bows? If I offened you, my apologies.
KShip85:
No worries adb, at first it stung a little but I'm trying to work on not taking criticisms so personally. If ya feel like taking a look at it
the links on the bottom of this post but don't feel obliged to by any means. Haha, hopefully I'll be able to post an elm war bow before long that turns out a little less broom handle and a little more medieval weapon ;)
