Elm Hall elm bows - who's building?
« on: June 06, 2016, 01:59:11 pm »
Hey fellas,

Please send me a PM if you plan on building a bow for the raffle from the elm we cut during last years event. I want to get a close enough count so I can make a few decisions for the raffle process.

Thanks!

I got a kids bow done. Approximately 15@ 18. Working on a quiver and some arrows to make it a complete setup. My piece of wood was questionable also so I took the high road and made a kids bow

I'd be proud if one of my grand kids had that bow setup......

I plan on cutting mine down a bit and go for a 50@26 or so and see if I can make it work. It was a very narrow piece and had a few issues so had to make it narrower than I wanted and it is just not very stable as it is now. I will see if I can get it worked out, if not I will donate something, probably Osage. :)

Mine is the same way Pappy. I cut a small pole so by the time I make some shoulders I will be near 1 5/8" wide. I'm shooting for something around 40-45 @ 28. That way it fits a bunch of shooters. Looking like it'll be around 63-64 ntn.

I knew you would my friend. Id love to have no less than five bows on the raffle table. I think that should be easy enough between all of us.

Dang fellas, we sure cut a lot of elm off club grounds to have so few responses. I hope the wood is used to the clubs benefit and not for our personal uses. At least one bow worth anyhow.

As of now I have Greg for one, Pauly for one and a possible second (imagine that), and me for one. I believe at least 8 or 10 of us cut wood last year.

Matt's is in my hot box and looks like it is ready to tiller, he plans on working on it when he comes down to the IBO World in July and take it home then. I cut mine down to 61 last evening and put on some overlays on it, I will see how it goes, although I wasn't in on the cutting I did get a piece so I will see if I can get a worthy bow from it, if not sorry, it was a small piece. :)

I feel like its my responsibility to see this through considering I started it and asked the club for permission to cut a few trees. My "name" is all over it and I tend to be proud of things with my name on them.

I'd talked to nakedfeet at Marshall, and I want to say he was working on one, but don't hold me to that.
