elm's up there at the top for me too.  Love the profile of your bow.  Sad to see no full draw though :'(

Nicely done!  I have a truckload of american elm seasoning but I haven't had a chance to use any yet.  It should be ready to use though, I should do that one of these days :)

That bow looks beautiful. What's the widest point and what does the width taper to at the nocks?

Thank you guys. Bowmaking am pleased. I can make a bow for the day if I have a wood.
This elm was very springy elastic, young wide  grow rings.  Properties are varied within species
Widest point 43 mm, tip 10 mm
