  Great job on that one. I admire how well you held the profile, I bet the bow has excellent cast.

Beautifull bow there Ed love the tip profile enough to give you some reflex but stable , those lighter bows are a lot of fun , the brain tanned handle is a nice touch & left over horn to good use congrats !

Thanks fellas.I gave this one a little longer fades reflected in the full draw elliptical profile.I still think I could use some refining on my finish work.The handle sewing is a bit shoddy if you ask me.Took me a few weeks of shooting and extended bracing times to get finalized.The tiller never did change.Wish I had a few more staves of it around.I forgot how nice elm smells while getting toasted.

Very nice!  You are churning out some fine bows these days.  A winged elm bow I made a few years back showed the most dramatic increase in draw weight from heat treating alone that I ever experienced.  It is good bow wood.

Mr Beadman fine job on the bow. I like the brush mocks and the reflex that held in it. Also the somewhat offset handle. Arvin

Ed I know what you mean about those slow cameras. For Christmas one year the kids got presents from Santa. Every time I pushed the button to take a picture my mother in law would move in front of me after to take her picture and click. All I got was a bunch of pictures of the back of my mother in laws head.lol better than the front of it. My cell phone takes way better pictures than any camera I ever had and I do like being able to look at them whenever I want.

Great bow, Ed!
I really like how the flipped tips are stretching out on brace and fd. The profiles are killer!

Thanks fellas.
The bow is a pain to brace with the push pull method.Darn near impossible really because of the deeper brush nocks.I have to use a primitive stringer.Not very much reflex to it so it is'nt much trouble then.The lighter weight is making me realize exactly how much short drawing I'm doing with heavier bows.
If you got more then you need Jon W I'll sure take some more off ya.Thanks!I thought I'd bring some hackberry staves along.I've seen the goodness you've done to hackberry before.
bjrogg...That's funny.
