Elm Hall - elm self bow raffle
Badly Bent:
Still have a long way to go on mine. Just got the lawn cut and need to get off my butt and go!!!
Badly Bent:
Roughing out elm and bringing the width and thickness down is one of my least favorite task, the stuff is stringy, tears out easily and I end up using the farriers rasp for the bulk after hatchet work. Wish my neighbor had a band saw. :KN

I know exactly what your saying Greg. I sure is a whole different critter than HHB.

PEARL DRUMS:
I laid mine out and sawed it out yesterday and plan to do an ALB/Hill style bow with it. I hear that Greg, without a band saw elm is no fun at all. Maybe we need to switch over to HHB bows for the raffle. I know there is plenty of that to.
I used the chunk you gave me at Marshall. The piece I cut went haywire on me and I'm not in the mood for a wrestling match with an elm sapling.
Knoll:
So, there's gonna be another elm bow raffle at Elm Hall, huh?
You fellows are making it harder 'n' harder to stay away. (SH)
