Those look really nice, good work!
Those hackberry bows are looking real nice TMK.
Thank you guys! Well, I ended up sanding through the back ring in a tiny spot next to a knot on the set back handle bow (ya I know, I somehow found a hackberry with a knot? Thats my luck I guess,

). I had linen or sinew on hand, and since this bow is kinda funky to begin with, I decided to go with linen.

So this bow was thrown on the back burner for a day or so, and in the mean time I decided to work on another hackberry static recurve. I forget the exact length, but it was like 64" or 63" or so end to end. At first it was anyway. The black overlay material is horn, once again. I started with this:

...And then promptly screwed the nocks up by making them too thin and weak, and one broke while I was floor tillering. Which I should of just broke them off before hand and made some new ones, as I really don't know what I was thinking in the first place. So now I have this:

...Which basically kills the whole bow for me, as I am not really loving the nocks. Oh well. I will post some more pics once I get er tillered and all...
