Thanks guys. Elm is a good choice of wood when making bows of this style.

Nice, as usual Marc.  Do you find 1/2" of work fatigue typical?  Any antecdotes re: whether more than 1/2" eventually translates into more permanent set as the bow is worked more?  I'm been working on this theory but don't make so many bows anymore to test it frequently.

Depends on the stress level of the bow and the wood. I'm sure this bow will take more set as it is shot in. I don't make that many bows anymore either, for myself in any case

These bows are good shooters Ray but not great performers. The design is good but there are things that could be done to improve performance

This is one gorgeous bow. Very distinctive style. Looking forward to seeing this tomorrow for July Self Bow of the Month.
