Your work always impresses me, but this one is over the top.  That is a really beautiful bow, and the actual primitive pigment paint work is outstanding.

Nice work, and all primitive materials.  The cedar that grows here is really a juniper and I should cut some and give it a try.

great job on this bow. I have made a couple of these little short bows and they have incredible speed. my problem is shooting them accurately. I am not used to a short draw. you did a great job on the paint as well. juniper is suprisingly elastic if you leave some sapwood on. how much of this is heartwood? again..good job.
