Red Elm for Phil

(1/3) > >>

Stickhead:
Hi, Y’all,

I haven’t posted one in a long time, so here goes. This is a Red Elm wavey pyramid self bow for my friend, Phil.  He’s a novice with long arms, so I made it 45#@30”.  (My full draw pic is stretching as far as I can, maybe 28”.). It’s plenty long, at 70”, 1-7/8” wide at fades, down to 3/8” tips.  I followed the wavey grain on this one, but the jury’s still out on whether it’s all that necessary for this wood.  Had a helluva time getting it to line up, but eventually managed it.  I heat-treated it and flipped the tips some.  Dressed it up with a dye job, ebony tips, suede wrap, and a bit of purpleheart for the arrow pass.

(Phil owns and brews at a local microbrewery, so I’m hoping for a nice barter.)

Sweet lookin bow!  Love the dark Colors.  Nice curves in the tiller. 

bjrogg:
I’m thinking that should be worth a couple rounds.

Nice bend.

Nice bend on that crooked stick. Beautiful stain job.

Pat B:
Beautiful bow all around, Stick. I'm sure Phil will love it.  :OK
