Author Topic: Elm Holmegaard build along... Sparky Trad Bowhunter Member # 584 posted                     Well...I figgered it's about time fer a Holmegarrd build along. David Mimms gave me this awesome stave of Elm about three years or so ago. This is da little split that came off when I kerfed the stave ta get two. Lemmie tell ya..if ya never split Elm..ya's in for a treat. That dang stuff is WAY harder ta split than Osage..and for that I thank ya Dave (and the Stave). This lil' piece of wood was just wanting to be a Holmegaard. I have always admired these bows. The first and only one I ever saw was Sean (aka Hooligan) at MoJam. I saw it shoot and BOY was it sweet..and neat to look at as well. Well enough of that...lets get on with the build. Please bear with me as my time to work is spotty at best. Ya ready...first installments... http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sparkylongbow/my_photos Sparky -------------------- "Dang...you really do have a 29+ inch draw"...DCM at MoJam 2005 Posts: 805 | From: Granbury, Texas | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  DCM Charter Member Member # 107 posted                     Switch your yahoo account over to public Sparky. Did you get the twist out of that stave? If the bow you are making is what I think it is, be careful on the outer fade. From what I gather, that's the key to the design.

I think I got her going my way. as I said this is da first go round. We got some left/right stuff to work out as well. Notice the Caul...this I give credit to Mickey...he has a awesome design on his site to induce reflex into your stave, mine is a bit less radical but non the less...for all you new guys...

A pre-agriculture, pre-warfare society developed this bow. it was a hunter/gathers type bow typical of the times, but superior by engineering means. A 9,000 year old artifact has been researched and documented.
