Jeez, that is some serious poundage for what looks like some pretty thin bows. The decorations look great.

Nice shape, tiller and artwork on these heavy bows. Well done once again.
Does your elm wood stand well such design and poundage ? (set, chrysals...) Are they heat treated ? Did you make curves and belly 'cooking' in the same session ?

I'm working on a elm stave now and these two certainly give me the inspiration to give my best

With the bend coming out of the fades that way and that kind of poundage, if its not ate up with set, I bet its fast and hard hitting. Marc likes elm too and I
know he makes some heavier poundage bows with it. Great job Thimo. Danny
