Pat, I am sorry, I dont have a decent pic of the belly there, and the bow is already off to Pennsylvania. I found the grain was less  reliable of a predictor of limb thickness there.  I did notice that the outer whoop-d-doo started to bend a touch when I thought it was still a little thick by feel. Wish I had more insight on how to treat those.

Vey cool, Carson.  8)  Will you post a pic of the belly side of one or the hoop-d-dos. I'm working on an osage bow with a similar hoop-d-do and I want to see how you worked them on the belly.

Thanks Carson.  Were the islands of the previous rings completely removed?

That is a fine looking bow Carson.  Got to be a sweet shooter and very accurate - I love the eastern woodland style.

 Little to long to be eastern wood land. 60,65 inch bow was longggggggg. I don't know any eastern tribe at any time that made 68" bows.

  Nice bow anyways.

The Cherokee war bows were long. One in Hamm/Allely's Encyclopedia of Native American Bows, Arrows and Quivers(pg82) is 68 1/8" long.
