Those are some beautiful bows.  I really like the Pitt River bows, they are on my "want it" list.

Nice looking bows!  How much sinew does it take to back a bow of that style?

I wouldn't mind seeing some full draw pics either.

Beautiful bows, I agree.  I'd love to see full draw picks also.  Silent Bear, do you use back or leg sinew?

 I agree with Justin, very nice entrance to the board.  Excellent replicas! ;) I'm glad to see more of these short sinew bows comming to the forum. Very nice work.  Juniper and yew are my two favorite woods to work. You most live in the NW somewhere.  If so I'd love to see these bows in person sometime.  Thanks for sharing and welcome to PA.    Keenan

I agree with the others - you really know how to make an entrance. I would dearly love to see a couple of those pulled back. Welcome!
