Elm---more help please
Mad Max:
:o ??? ::) :P :fp

Red elm has been used in a lot of laminated glass bows with good results. My Treadway bow has red elm back and belly, under glass. Maybe ask other glass bow builders which red elm they have used. The only real way to tell which one it is is with the botanical names.
Mad Max:
Ok
Jim Davis:
We have a few elm varieties here in west KY. But the winged variety is my obvious choice because it is easy to identify, almost unsplitable and grows like a weed. I saw a stave with a chainsaw, then make any design I want without much concern for grain run out. It just isn't much of a concern.
