You have done well to make a 120lb elm bow - I know how difficult it is to get whitewood to withstand heavy draw weights

It looked like one to me in the pictures. I had a small piece of horn chip out when filing once and it looked similar. Nevermind.
In addition to what Alan said, is there a specific reason for choosing the rather short length of 74"?

By all means do post pictures. Not everyone is as critical as Rod

Actually, I'm close to doing the final few fine sandings on my 2nd attempt on a red oak BB. i am really excited, But having some probs with tiller.
I will waite till It's finished then see what kind of responce I get. I can take criticism easily ( tough skin) ;), but don't like being berated. Heck, I laugh at myself all the time. ;D
Thanks for answering.

I wouldn't have put a horn nock on with a chip in it.
That 74" is a N to N measurement, the overall length is 76". Elm is strong in tension, it can take being made shorter
