So last fall I got 2 elm staves from Marc St. Louis.  The first attempt I tossed in a corner in disgust.  The second one well, I like it!  

This bow is 64" long.  1 3/4" wide for most of the limb and then tapers to 1/2" at the nock.  It is heat treated.  Recurves were steam bent.  Osage tip overlays.  I did a slight pistola grip but tried to keep it subtle as I think they can look tacky on stave bows if overdone.  Tennis racquet handle wrap, My absolute favorite handle wrap, Thanks again Tim Ott for that build a long.  I'm still working on getting that knife edge of the leather though.  Built up leather shelf and gopher snake skin strike plate(multiple layers).  

I tipped over my can of tung oil a few weeks ago so I didn't have many options for a finish.  I'm penniless right now so I just threw a couple coats of spray spar varnish on it for the time being.  Once I get some spending money in my pocket I'll finish it with tung oil.

I wanted to go narrower on the tips but I always get nervous there.  So I just kept removing wood until the handshock went away.  It's a pretty smooth and fast bow at 50#@28".  Hope ya like.

good looking bow  

Nice! Im really starting to dig those tennis grips. The last few you posted had those, and both look classy. Makes the gears turn in my head! Nice bow Nathen.

Outstanding!

Nice looking bow NTD!!! Is that snake skin for a strike plate? It looks awesome!

Beautiful craftsmanship Nate, one to be very proud of.

Very Nice job.

very nice bow, and the tiller is right on

Thanks guys.

Hardwaymike, yep it's snake skin.  I've done it a few times and it holds up okay if you do a couple layers.

Very nice.
How much reflex did it start with?

WOW! Nice job!

Static recurves have now become something that I regard as the coolest things since sliced bread! I need to get a stave and try one.

Sweet !!!

Thanks everyone.  

Greg, It had 2" off relfex off the form.

nice job!

Awesome...I do like those elm bows.  I really like the static recurves.  Good looking full draw.

Good looking bow Nate! Where are you in AZ? I'm heading to Tuscon in a couple of weeks.

Thanks guys.

Tommy, I'm in Tucson.  Just west of the Tucson Mountains.  What date are you going to be here?  There's a nice lil field range up the road from me.

Turned out really good. Congrats!
