Sweet looking bow. Way to pass it on too.

Thanks again! Sometimes, it's nice to have a variety of interests (arrows, bows, stone points.) Makes it easier to put one project down and leave it alone while ya work on something else. There's no way I coulda finished this bow if I would have worked it straight through. I had to set this dude aside several times and just think it thru.

Thanks Ed. Up next to some of these fine folks I feel like a regular "Scrooge"! I reckon as long as I'm trying to model generosity, like as not I'll make it someday.   ::)

Nice work stringman! That looks like that was worth the wait.  You have a lucky hunting buddy!  Thanks again for those beautiful obsidian points.

Very nicely done Scott. Tiller is spot on and the skins of course just set it all off with that crazy character. Beautiful job.  Danny

Scott that sure is a cool looking bow. I'm glad you stuck it out. Looks like a beauty and if I know your bows it's a fine shooter 8)

I know this is an old one, ...but I've been re-reading old posts while I wait for code to re-compile,  (...worse than watching paint dry!)

I really love the way this bow came from a stave that looked like it was determined NOT to be a bow.
