Eastern Woodland bow pictures library
« on: March 06, 2015, 09:20:03 am »
Fellas,
     For any of you that might be interested I thought I would put up all the museum pictures I have collected. Most are museum pictures and as such have a measurement scale in them, if ya see a pic with a Tribe and length listed then it came from the text when I found it, Some only have the museum item number so will have a name on the picture to say who's it is, this also came from the text.
    I did not flag the pics with the museums they came from (in hindsight that was a mistake) but I'm sure I can figure it out if you want to do some future research.

Note: You are going to see several different types all from the same tribe or band so they are not miss-prints....just different bows within the same group.

hope ya like
rich

There are a lot of 'em so this will be some every day for awhile, I dont know how to do collages.

There is a surprising number of recurves.

Oddly enough, me to! Nice pics Rich.

Did you see that thing is only 37" long Cody.  I like that one too but that a wee bit short for me

The second one stood out to me as well.

Rich, this is awesome. Got it booked marked! I wanna do a little research as to the tribes around my area back home and also where I live today. I'd love to build a replica
