Elm warbow 76" 155# @30"

(1/5) > >>

JNystrom:
Here is another warbow i finished the past summer. Its a bit knotty and also a "little" too heavy for me. Its elm from south Finland with deer antler nocks and heat treated "brutally". By which i mean the back is also heat treated, as you can see from the pictures  ;D

JNystrom:
Some more pictures...

JNystrom:
And the full 30" draw.

FilipT:
Beautiful and so knotty! It even has beginnings of branches. Do they slow the bow down because of extra mass? Can you tell us how did you make the layout and what are dimensions of cross section, it looks really thick.

JNystrom:
Thanks. Its 43x31mm in the handle. I don't think the branches slow it down quite at all. It's 155 pounds and it weights 1080 grams after all. Also almost all of the branches are in the inner limbs, which makes them effect even less. I like the appearence of them, so that is a big factor too. :D
