Thanks guys.  :D
Graylan as for a online source you can do a web search for Native American collections or museums and do a search through their archives and collections. Thats the easiest way to find historical material that I have found.
My favorite bowyer is Reginald Laubin who studied Native bows and really bows of the world in general. He made various types from North America and other regions of the world Including the turkish bows that were so famous for distance and quality craftsmanship. He published a great book on the subject.
that book is a great read, glad your back posting, really like your work, Bub

That is a nice one for sure. I am getting ready to sinew a bow just like that and was considering a snakeskin backing, but your paint work has me thinking now. I will do a search and see if I can come up with some pattern ideas. What do you use for paint?

She's a beaut all right! I've never had the ambition or talent to paint one like that. Good job! Wonderful bow and arrows!  Dale
