Elm warbow 102# 32"
Elm warbow 102# 32"
After some hard months (year) and lack of time for bowmaking I hope I am finally back forever into.
List of bows I owe to the friends I will continue with this warbow for my cousin. He asked me long time ago to make one for him and I finally made one. It is elm, litle less than 78" ntn. Horn nocks (thanks to my friend Heiner), respecting 8/5 rule, oval belly. I began it with 4" of reflex and now it holds 2 1/2" after shooting in, not heat treated. It was interesting to brace it in the begining. Very interesting. I usually do not make so straight and knotless staves so this is rare sight. Lower limb has ugly reflex kink in one spot so at full draw seems little stiff but it is not. Upper limb had reflex spread along entire limb, easy to work. Lower was really troublemaker.
I was today out of batteries for the full draw photo so I placed one form previous photo session.
Hope this one to serve well.

Hello Ishi,
Elm is just an ingenious wood! A great Bow you've got conjured again!
Do you have a picture of the Stave?
No snow on the mountain ?

I don't like the remains of bark on the back so much but that's just a personal preference and the dark heartwood on the belly looks absolutely wonderful.
The Tips on the details look darker than on the full-draw picture but are a bit blurry. What did you do to them?

Re: Elm warbow 102# 32"
Thank you skinwalker, I am doing my best. This is unfortunately the only pic of the stave (sapling) that I have. Maybe it would be good idea to make pics of the staves before making bow, interesting...
On the pole pic you can see snow in the background, it felt yesterday. Full draw pic was made few days ago, when was nice weather. Winter is coming.
Thank you Gornarak. It was personal taste of owner to left it. But heartwood is delicious, I agree.
On the full draw nocks are temporary, wooden overlays. After that I replaced them with horn nocks that are visible on other pics. Blury is because of the lense I think, very close up.

Hello Ishi,
I've been thinking that it was Sapling. The proportion of heartwood has hinted it.
I also got 15 such Saplings by a forester ...
In six months we'll see ...

Another masterpiece Ishi!
Although not as gnarly as usual its a pleasure to look at this bow.
The anual rings are pretty narrow are they?

Hej Ishi!
great bow again!
I am wondering about the handshock. Even though this drawweight is not my level,so i can't compare.
Once i made a bow made of dogwood, smaller, lighter but in a similar shape (45pound/28'') which almoust makes my teeth fall out!your elm probably would break my bones...
