Howdy Ken,

Hey, nice bow!!  It looks like you put plenty of TLC into 'er.

Question; What are the widths at the fades and at the tips, and where (how far from the tips) do you start your taper?

How about a close up pic. of that handle?

Thanks for sharing your workmeship,

All the Best,
Canoe

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!
