LOL - Pat's afraid that if he "breaks her in" any longer - he never would be able to turn loose of her -    

[Pat B]

She went out just a little bit ago. Should be to her new home on Thursday.

[ber643]

Gee, I sure hope her new Daddy won't be too upset about all the rest of us having drooled all over her.

  "Who's your Daddy now?"    

[Pat B]

That would have been a good name for her!
 "Who's you Daddy now?" Why didn't you tell me that yeaterday?

[ber643]

LOL - Sorr reeeee.    

I would have been honored had you chosen it as a name for that fine bow - some small part in it    

[John Lipinski]

That's absolutely unbelievable!

I love it, great job. I'm sure the new owner will love the bow too.

[kodiakkid]

I love it too. Pat I'll give her a good home.

Bernie you'll deffinitely get to see it again. I may even let you shoot it. Remember I said may. LOL  Paul<><

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Congrats Paul! Pat told me a couple weeks ago where she was going. I was pretty excited for you.

 Two good draws both years.

[Pat B]

Enjoy her Paul. I can sleep well now just knowing she's in a good home! d;^)

[ber643]

Well, bless your heart, Paul - that really did come close to home. I'll even bring driving gloves to Sissipaha, on the 19th, Paul, and wear 'em if you let me shoot an arra or two with her - LOL
Heartfelt congratulations, buddy, (along with a modicum of righteous jealousy - LOL).

First off, that is an awesome looking bow! I've read this thread a couple of times as I'm interested in building a bow with elm. I just have one question. Do you have to chase a ring with elm like you do with osage? I couldn't find anything in this thread about that.

Thanks.

[Pat B]

If the elm is cut during the growing season just peel the bark and make a bow. If winter cut you will have to remove the bark and at least some of the cambium but you won't have to chase a ring.

Awesome job on the bow, great build along as well!
