By Paleo I am assuming you mean that you used primtive tools. Is that right? Can you list your tools and materials? I have been wanting to do a stone-aged bow from tree to shooter, and would love to know what other folks are using.

I thought I commented on this bow right after you posted but I must have forgot. Anyway, I like it.

Very cool bow.  Sweet nocks!

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

No, sorry. I used paleo cause it's not some authentic replica of any actual style but did restrict myself in material choice.

The tools I used are a workbench, a drawknife and two rasps. Also some 100 grit sandpaper. A mortar, and glass jars for the colours and the glue.

Materials is the dogwood stem, deer sinew, hide glue, reddish clay, charcoal, white chalk, linen string, beeswax, pine pitch and a cow gut.

Me too. But I still suck so badly at flintknapping that I think it is a long way to go.  :-\
