Very nice stick. Good looking tiller on that character bow. Hope you make a good trade with your buddy. I think red elm is an good overlooked bow wood, at least in my area. Just cant prove it yet. Heading to a wood lot this week to try and find a few small trees of it. Mike

I’ve been messing with red elm a lot lately, since I harvested a big fallen tree last year.  It likes heat treatment, and bends pretty well with dry heat.  I’m starting to like it a lot.

I've never used it. Some FG bowyers do sandwiched between fiberglass.
