Nice clean lines and great tiller.

Nice bow, like the arrow rest inlay.

I guess it's Ok:)

That looks awesome!  Did you thin the sapwood at all?  I have some red elm I will be getting to pretty soon and was thinking I would just remove all the sapwood - it is very thin and seems brittle, not at all like "regular" elm with thick sapwood.

Thanks guys.

I did thin down the sap wood. I took it down to just one ring. It was really easy to work with, and I'm sure it won't be my last.

Nice looking bow

I really like the way you done the arrow rest. That tiller does look good.

Great bow tiller looks spot on to me. I always heard elm was hard to work down to a ring because of interlocking grain. Just curious cause I have an elm stave and am considering working it down to heart wood.

Red Tailed Hawk - here is a pic while I was working it down to a single ring, if the heartwood is anything like the sapwood it will be easy.

Nice looking bow duckie. They just keep getting better don't they.

very nice, Love the lookl of that elm

Thanks for posting that pic, I think I will give it a try.
