These are both from elm.
The 1st is a long, narrow flat bow that I put a black finish on. It is 68"L 100# at 28"

Thanks everyone.
The arrow is 1/2" ash with an armor pierceing bodkin. I believe it is over 1300 grains.
Here is a video of me shooting the warbow. She's fast.

Man you do great work. No power tools I assume? If I made a 100# bow I'd have to use both hands and feet

Nice bows as usual, man the poundage would fix my shoulder issues, I'd be scheduling surgery sooner.

Nice tiller on both of those bows, Thimo. I'm working on a yew heavy but only have it bending about 2". I'll never be able to pull it. Heck, it hurts just to see pics of you and others pulling the heavies. Pat

Very nice Thimo. Don't give yourself a hernia pulling those monsters back, like I did.
