Elm backed with cherrybark

(1/8) > >>

AndrewS:
Hi,
just another bow I will show you guys:
She is made out of a board of elm I found a few years ago in the holydays 'cause the hotel has furniture of elmwood from a local carpenter. I phoned him and a few days later I got the board.
The first bow was for my wife.
This one is the second bow out of the board: 62" NTN, 45 lbs @27", 1 1/2 " wide after the fades until midlimb and the tapered to 3/8" at the tips. The tips with a tiny little recurve. she is backed with cherrybark from local forest 8), the grip is from leather with a lacebinding and she is a got shooter. After shooting she has less than 1" stringfollow.
At last the bad message: Full draw pics are available after my wife will have time to take the pics ;)

Earl:
Good Job on the bow! That cherry bark isn't one piece right?

AndrewS:
Right Earl, the cherrybark are 3 pieces. Two pieces of nearly 31" and for the missing bark at the grip I put on a third piece of bark as an overlay but this one is only 10" in length :)

DanaM:
Man thats a pretty bow Andrew, the cherry bark really sets her off.
Can't wait for the full draw pics.
