If making a red elm selfbow out of a stave does all the sapwood need to come off and then just work it like an osage stave? Thanks, Coach

You could do it that way, but sapwood is fine with elm. It would be much easier to just debark it and take off the cambium layer to establish a back. Good luck, Matt

Take the sapwood off red elm and make the bow 2'' wide.
