Very cool man, and great use of natural materials!  I'll have to read up on making a string like that.  Love the action shot also; it looks like you are fending off an invading tribe.   ;)

Caesar?  Are you bent on duplicating every bow in that dang book?!?!   I gotta hand it to you, you really have a passion for this hobby.  Hope to shake hands with you and make shavings together some day!

Sweet!  Repros are my favorite...especially when they are complete with a sinew string.  Hope to get mine to that point someday.
