What kind of Elm in my state is good/best for bows, and what is the smallest diameter tree to start with?
North Mississippi

Thanks :)

Mark, I've only used winged elm and red elm and both are very good bow woods. I think anything 2" and up would be good for hunting weight bows.

There are 3 of the 5 on that link I posted and the 3 say other names red elm also.
Check that link for me please.  ???
I printed the tree pictures and info to help me find the correct ones.
Thanks Pat :)

Never used anything ,but good clean  American elm, so nothing to compare it to. It worked fine for me.

Pat B:
Mark, I don't know if the red elm I used was one of those three red elms. The stave was given to me.
