Title: elm takedown
Post by: jamie on March 03, 2008, 02:02:05 pm

been a while since i finished a bow. and i know eddie i gettin sick of my stone age bows ;D so i did something different (for me). elm 17/8" wide and fades tapering to 1/2nocks blah blah blah. 50#@26". had to put a mulberry lam. on the bend of the curves cause they started to pull out. 66"nock to nock. had a tough time visualizing the bends with a stiif handle seeing as most of mine bend. would of liked to of gotten a little more bend near the fades but the bow shoots like a dream so i let it be. top limb also had a bit more deflex near tip so it looks odd but its not

Party On dude ;D

You know Justin is going to complain about the full draw picture, its supposed to be against a contrasting background
centered and leveled ;D

Other than that it looks good jamie, man sure wish elm was more common here.

The bow looks sweet, the stain really dressed it up pretty.  I got to see it in action,  It shoots great really can fling an arra.

Hmmm, I generally screw up here for BOM.  So if the mulberry is a lam, this is a laminant bow? Anyway, very outstanding elm take down and bookmarked for March for Self or Laminant category.  Let me know.

Keep after Jamie for a better full draw. With the mulberry lams, I'm having trouble deciding if this goes to laminants for self bow category.
