It looks good, but what about the growthrings? They look very brittle to me. Am I right?

Thanks Uwe.
Actually not brittle at all; made 5 successful bows from the same board, and the atlatl seems to hold up, too.

what did you use to color the shafts.  I really like that black and red contrast. Nice craftsmanship all around!

I used black waterbased dye; brings out the wood pattern nicely!

Beautiful work....every time I see one of these I REALLY get the urge to give one a go but I need to slow down and get a few bows under my belt before I start jumping on every project that catches my eye  ;D

Thanks for sharing!
