Here is a complete set made for seabass. He furnished the brain tanned / smoked buckskin, and a cased coyote (for the face)

Bow is a self backed ash scalloped Western Ojibwe bow, with a mild double curve design common to the western Natives. It's 50" and draws 26" at 50#. The cases consist of a bow case, arrow case, utility bag, and there is an awl case sewed from the left side cheek of the coyote. There is also a retaining loop on the right side end of the bandolier for holding a tomahawk. There is also an Eastern style two fletch woodland arrow, and a spruce pitch glue stick included. The bow carries clan signs for the Bear clan and the grip wrap has Bear hair incorporated along with the clan signs. These are on a braintanned piece of cariboo skin which is tied on the center of the bow in the style of the Western Cree / Western Annishinabe.

Hope ya like "em
rich

Rich, wonderful work as usual.  I have to admit though...out of all the NA bows I'd like to make this is the one I'd like to try the most.  My folks opened up their cabin in Mancelona this weekend, I'd love to stop by sometime and see your work in the flesh if you'd be up for a visit?
