I'll model the bow after yours, George...thought I'd get it all put together tonight but my wife finally agreed to watch Avatar (I'm a sucker for any movie that has archery, dragons, or mecha so Avatar is like top stuff for me).  It was an all-evening thing.

No problem, hope you had a great evening.  Don't forget to PM me your address.

Thanks Erik, but if you're looking at that last picture, it isn't the same bow.  Guess I should have noted that.

The figurines are both fully free-standing so they haven't been fused to the base...a dab of super glue to the feet of the archer will hold it fine should the set be in a gusty or active location.  I know you said a natural base but this is what I had...it was pretty discolored so I stained it to keep it even.  Plus, it was already padded...which might not be important at all to you (you might actually want to make your own base).

Sanding the tusks down didn't make them stand out much more than they did when they were blued so I painted them a dirty white/ivory color.

Let me know if there's anything you would like changed.

Wohoo!! I love it! Of course it would be more realistic if the arrow was flying harmlessly over the back of the boar...  ;D

I'm kidding of course, it's perfect.

Hey George, do you even own a bow that straight?  Thought all your sticks were like cork screws... >:D

Yes I do, but I had to take 2 crooked staves, cut the worst half off of each and made a takedown. ;) :)  As you know, just because a stave starts crooked doesn't mean it has to end crooked. :D

Yea, I'm liking this trade a lot!

Makenzie, would you mind if I reposted those pictures over on the TexasBoars forum?  I think that'd get some attention for sure.

PM me your web page and I'll include it in the post.  There's a couple guys  I think would be very interested.  Maybe more if you can do guns as well.  George
