 With judicious use of heat you can turn hard Elm practically into Osage and soft Elm into Yew.

Thank you guys.

I have shot the bow a bit. It shoots quite well and is pretty fast, for a longbow  :)

WoW ! Nice bow , and you were going to try for "more draw weight" ? 70# seems like enough for what's left of my shoulders... :)
