Del the cat:
That full draw shape looks really good, it respects the shape of the stave nicely.

That's a really nice character bow and quite challenging to tiller so well too.  A great experiment :)
Brian's having a stave sale at our next shoot if you want to try some wych elm.  It would add about 20lbs to the draw i'd estimate.

Thanks Del and Jeremy

It amazes me how forgiving Elm is as a bow wood. I didn't even heat treat this bow and some areas of the limbs are working very hard to achieve a reasonable tiller with no hint of crystaling!
