Great work, perfect tiller! Next time work a bit more on your pigment to make it more powdery but this is not a criticism  ;)
Like it very much!

Fusizoli. I always like criticism. That's how you learn. I did get the paint to a fine powder. Could probably do a better job, but the problem was in the hide glue jelling to quick, and when you put heat to it the water evaporates from the glue and solves nothing. I think making a bigger more watery batch of pigment kept at the right temp might be the way to go.

That's a great looking little short bow. The use of authentic materials for the bow,string and decoration is inspired Sir.

Cool Beans.
I really like the bow,but are you shure of the tribal designation?It looks more Yurok,Karok or Hupa than Modoc to me.Modoc people,typically used a bow with,"Pyramid" shaped limbs rather than a "Paddle bow" shaped limb.

Thanks Traxx.
The original could have been mislabeled. It was a bow listed as 1875-1885 Modoc. It was at auction. It looked as if the original had bent tab nocks. Tipical of the tribes you described. The nocks on mine are tapered and slightly flipped, Modoc style. This is just a reproduction. For it to be a Modoc bow I would have to belong to the Modoc tribe.
I have seen the Modoc bows like you posted. They are widest above the handle instead of mid limb. I have also seen some  that were shaped like this.

I'm glad you take criticism well, because I have a problem with this bow:  It makes me totally jealous.  Now, if you aren't mad at me for offering MHO, I'd like to request a Youtube link of it being shot?  How about it?

Keep em coming!
