Picked up my Two Tracks Pure Michigan Longwalker today from Chuck Deschler.  We discussed woods back in December and I settled on American Elm veneers, a Walnut/Osage riser and I believe maple cores.  I think he hit it out of the park!  These veneers are absolutely stunning.  I also had him build it with a straight grip since I seem to shoot them better.  Overall she's 64", and 43#'s @28" draw.

That's a beauty Rick!!  Will this be your bow for Wild Things?  And more importantly; does this mean your NM Shelton is for sale?  Ha ha

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Haha Gary! Yeah the NM is staying here, but this one is going to Wild Things too.

It was good to see again Rick, Happy the bow pleases you.  It turned out very well I think.
The core wood is American Black Walnut.

Enjoy it and good luck at wildthings.

That elm is awesome.  Nice combo with the osage and walnut.

Chuck is the master with his creations and they perform better than all I've tried.

Enjoy!   :thumbsup:
